The length of the bullet probably has to be at least twice the diameter for in-flight stability at the desired range plus being lead = significant weight. Even in a standard handgun .45ACP, 230 grain is the usual weight so a rifle round being heavier is not surprising.

I seriously don't think I'd want to try killing something at 600 yds with an air rifle.
