    Sighting in / handloads

    Hello Fellas,
    So I had covid a couple weeks ago and while at home I decided to start handloading. Bought the majority of gear online and started to deprime and do some case prep. I also have a new scope i Just put on my rifle. Im shooting a Bergara B14 .308 with a Leupould 4x12x40.
    So my question is, Should I sight in my rifle with some factory ammo (Federal blue box 150g) then see what my rifle likes for handloads? I have never done any handloading so have know idea what my rifle might like.
    Im thinking of 168g ELD-M or 165g SST with 2206H powder.
