Ok so I am looking for some advice on loading some rounds. I have alot of Reloader #19 powder and cci #200 large rifle primers and I am looking for a good long range round with that powder primer setup since I already have alot of it. I have shot barnes 168 ttsx for quite some time now but just trying to see what else is out there that people have shot and had success with. I use the rifle for hitting steel and hunting for ranges upto 1150 yards as that is as far as my property allows me to shoot. anyone have any suggestions for a good bullet that will shoot out to that range, but also drop a white tail or a black bear at closer ranges.

I'm using the 190 gr berger with awesome results. Comes out at 3110 FPS in drop table to 1000 yards.
If your hunting try Berger 210 hunting VLD, punching paper A-Max 208 are my favorites. I have tried 200g Accubonds, they were pretty good but not as good as the latter.
I use exculsively 76 gr Hodgdon H1000, Federal Gold Medal Large Rifle Magnum Match #215M Primers, and Hornady 208Gr A-max with RWS Brass. Prints clovers almost always. This is out of a Surgeon Scalpel.

A 200 grain Berger behind h1000.... Why? Because Barnes and ssts are not exactly what id call Long Range bullets, however Barnes being better than the SSTs. Also your 1:11 twist will stabilize it just fine and its a very capable Long range bullet. 1,000 yards should be no problem. Maybe even the 215 hybrid. IF YOU CAN FIND IT!!
