It's the Three Mile Creek range in Perry, Utah. They had just put in the 1000 yard berm a couple of weeks before the shoot. I think they actually let us in a week before it opened for the season.
You would turn a LOT of heads doing it with a 16" carbine. I would LOVE to see the look on their faces to see that! Doing it at 1200 would be even better! They have 1000, 1200, 1500, 1760, and 2000 yard challenges. 1200 is the furthest completed to date, and to my knowledge it's never even been tried with a gas gun.
I didn't get very good results in mine when I upped the charges with CFE. It seems like the harder I pushed it, the worse it shot. I settled on a pretty tame load of 30gr of BL-C(2), but it's shot great for me. I've never been too comfortable pushing loads to the max, mainly because of my own personal lack of experience. I wouldn't doubt I could hit another accuracy node before I hit my max, I just haven't done it. I've also got ~26#s of BL-C(2), versus about 1/2# of CFE, so I'll be using that powder through a couple of barrels I'm sure
