Well it's been awhile and after the stock fiasco we will not talk about grrr but let's just say it had to go back due to a misalignment issue. I finally got to the loading bench and spent some time working up a few loads and I think I've found an accurate winner 
the rifle kick's like a bay mule! going to have to find some better scope rings as the cheapie rings I picked up just to see if the rifle would shoot ain't gonna work! over about 40 rounds the scope shifted forward about 3/4" so looks like some quality rings and bases are in order lol
The bullet I settled on are the Sierra 180gr gamekings, with some H4350 and a GM210M primer, I did get bored and turned the necks on the brass but nothing else crazy, didn't get any crony data as seems I dropped something on one of my sky screen supports and well is now two piece and should be one. I loaded from 56.5gr up to 58.0gr and the 57.0gr seems to have told me what the rifle likes.
No pictures of the rifle in a pretty stock but they will come later but just wanted to stop back by and tell everyone thanks for the direction! this old rifle is starting to get fun.... other than the mule kick every time I torch off a round lol
