Hi, my name is 2506, and I'm a reloader.
Nice group. My guess is you're shooting at around 2700 fps. Pump that data into the ballistic calculator I posted above and tinker with your zero. It depends, again, on where you'll be hunting, but I try to set my zero so I don't have to make any adjustments (i.e., holdover) until I get out beyond 400 yds. You won't know exactly until you shoot through a chrony, but it'll give you an idea. Once you have the exact speed of the load you'll hunt with, it will behoove you to print out the chart from said website, laminate it, and carry it with you or tape it to your rifle.
You may also want to look at RL-17, it can get that bullet close to 3000 fps.
Further, add to your 'want' list a range-finder.
