Matt,
I have the same PC gun that you have ordered - currently I shoot the 200 gr FTX Hornady loads in the gun, with plans to reload XTP's, Barnes and Partitions over 296 for some heavier projectiles...
For optics, I have 3 Warnes holding a Leupold VX-III 2.5x8 to the integrated rail. (Nice choice of scope, Rod :))
Good luck and happy shooting!
