To reach a 1000yds your much better off pushing 123gr bullets, pushing then as fast as you can safely. Try Lapua or Nosler see if you get more FPS out them or the Amax. I hit 600yds and 1000yds the 1st day out shooting Hornady factory loads. Since then I have done it using reloads with Amax and Nosler bullets. Try CFE and see if you get more FPS. Don't worry about giving up a little accuracy for some extra speed. A very man that started shooting when he went into the military several decades ago.
Keeping that bullet supersonic is important. Like others mentioned once you get past 600 environmental conditions being having more of an effect on the bullet. Good luck.
