LMT MARS-H 13.5 - 150 GR BALLISTICS - INPUT WANTED

Hey everyone, new here.

I have an LMT MARS-H 7.62 13.5 using cheap AAC (PSA) 150 ammo. Chrono has it at 2500 fps roughly. I'm thinking of this as a battle rifle, but something that can also reach out to 1000m (for fun). Any thoughts on ammo recommendations outside of the cheap AAC 150 gr. I have some 168 matches that work exceptionally out at a distance, but I was curious about ideas or suggestions from the group.

Ideally, the energy at distance is >550lbs 600m+

(The glass on the scope is a Nightforce NX8 DMR reticle 1-8) DPP red dot piggyback

I'm not sure that the 168gr family would do you justice past 900y, probably less with a 13.5" tube.
