We really need a sticky for this subject, as it seems to pop up regularly.

Shooting to a 1000 yards is easy. Hitting what you are aiming at is a bit trickier. Lately I've been recommending 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 Rem to shooters getting into the long range game, simply because of the plethora of 139 to 142 gr match bullets that do so well from so many different manufacturers (Lapua, Sierra, Hornady, Nosler, Berger, etc).
