O.P. You say starting from scratch, Probably should see if you can hit a target @ 25-30 yds. Set sights & move on out to 50 or 100 yds. If it's a 150 yd plus rifle, you can probably go on to 100 yds after the 25 yd. starter, & so on from there. At 25 yds if it's not a tight group that load won't work at 100. My 2-cents.
