I am still a noob, 9 brew under my belt and last 3 all grain.  I am just starting to try and make my own recipes.  I was wondering if anyone could give some advice on this recipe as to whether it is ok or if there are any major problems with it.  Looking for a moderately hoppy average ABV APA with good hop taste but not as citrusy as an all cascade APA.
Thanks in advance.

10 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1

Looks great to me.  If you find the malt somewhat simple or plain, you might try some Munich and/or Vienna on the next batch.  Or maybe use ~40-50% Maris Otter rather than all 2-row. 
 
Ok thanks.  I have never used victory and didn't know how strong or how much to use.
