The old rule of thumb used to be spend 2x the cost of the rifle on the glass. I think that rule has kind of gone the way of the dodo with the glass that's out there now. I don't have a place where I can shoot the range you are talking about so I can't say how they'll perform at that range but I really like Leupold scopes. They hold their zero well, glass is excellent and their customer service should you need it repaired is very good from my experience.
For reloading manuals, I subscribe to the notion that you can never have too many of them. I have manuals that belonged to my father that date back to the mid 60's that are still useful on occasion. My favorite manuals are Lyman, Speer, and Sierra (I load sierra bullets in all my rifles). If you're just starting out reloading take it slow until you get the hang of it and read as much as you can on the subject. A lot of people recommend The ABCs of Reloading but I haven't read it.
