Welcome to the asylum. Sounds like you have a good start component-wise but I prefer the 165's over H4350 in my rifles these days. I think next step should be to consult a loading manual or two. It will have starting loads as well as max loads, lots of other good info as well.

Start at 50gr over standard LR primers. Most books show 52gr as max. My best load was with 52gr of 4064 under 150 Hornday or Sierra. Great at the chrony, sub MOA, and one shot drop.
