i have a buddy who wants me to teach him to reload and get a round for killing paper at 1000 yds. he ask me what bullet he should try first and i have no experiance with 30 cal so i didn't know the answer. i know there is no clear cut answer but im looking for a starting bullet.

22 inch 1-10 twist barrel.

im looking at the 175 smk should i look at a diffrent bullet

i was wondering about those but i didn't know if i could get enought velocity behind a 200+ grain bullet out of a 06 and 22 inch barrel to really use it
