I've never run across 1000 meters in any of the hunting that I have done here in the SE US, nor am I familiar with any ranges of that distance,

Heck, out here in Colorado we shoot prarie dogs at at that distance. Head shots of course, the little critters have gotten kinda wiley, just staying hunkered down in their holes most of the time and barely poking their heads out if someones around.

I was out In Colorado several weeks ago visiting one of our customers north of Denver, and prarie dogs were everywhere! Unfortunately, they were all within a few hundred feet of an apartment complex or some other sign of civilization that would prohibit their being hunted with a rifle.

I remember thinking how much fun it would be to have a 22-250 and a farmers permission to rid him of the pests.

Oh, and my recommended 7mmRemMag might be a little much for a praire dog ... :)
