Lol. Yeah I always wish I had brought my .243 instead when I make those 1000 yard shots on deer and coyotes every other day.... I've never killed a critter past 450 yards.
Some people do. Apparently you don't, that's great. Neither have I, but that doesn't mean that I never want to try.
I wouldn't try to hunt with either at 1000 yards, I'd prefer to carry more energy than either offer at that distance if I were intending to kill something. Punching paper is one thing, but the man asked about deer and coyotes/fox. Not trying to enter a pissing contest.
