6.5 creedmoor AR Only

I am definitely seeing a lot of loads on what seems like the bleeding edge. I am pretty new to reloading and have been getting some great accuracy with my best group below. I am utilizing an A&D 120i and an OpenTrickler to weigh my charges. My problem is that with moderate loads, I am still seeing pressure signs like bright ejector marks on the brass. I know the brass is not the best.

22" 6.5cm Criterion barrel

ELD- Match 130 gr
StaBall6.5 43.1 gr
Sellier Bellot Brass
CCI BR2 primers

Average velocity: ~2860fps
SD: ~13
ES: ~50

I have just ordered some Lapua LRP brass and want to try some 140 or 147 grain projectiles. Would appreciate some feedback on setting this rifle up for 1000 yards safely.
