first year hunting ammo Q's reminton 700 30-06

I am just about to start hunting. I have a Remington 700bolt 30-06 used no markings for adl bdl ect but has iron sights clip and fancy engraving.
I want to hunt whitetails I like being able to hit at long range but most concerned about knock down power/fast death and meat quality. I will be hunting all over the state, hills with dense forest of sw to wide open fields.
I have a friend who just got reloading equipment from grandfather so I want to try that but factory rounds are to.
any info would be good i know nothing about reloading so what powder primers bullets everything thanks
right know i have a box of 150 gr rem. bronze points and core-lokt pointed soft pt that came with gun
