I would give the barrel a thorough cleaning, pick up a can of Hodgdon 380 powder, and test about 5 different bullets.
I usually start with Nosler Ballistic Tips and Sierras in a varmint rifle. The Hornady V Max is another good one. Make sure you try some different bullet weights, too. You didn't mention a 55 grain bullet- I would surely try one of those, at least, along with a 50 grain. And maybe a 40 grain.
You don't yet know what this rifle likes, so it's too early to make any judgements about the rifle.
