The RCBS 35-200-FN is far and away the most popular cast bullet design. It works very well for me.
Alliant Reloder 7, IMR 3031 and 4198, Winchester 748 and Hodgdon H335, Benchmark, H322 and BL-C(2) are all good powders as well as plenty of others in that burn range. Loads are widely published.
Get a good book for your friend and have him read it before he starts... Be safe!
