Back to the matter. Does anybody have video evidence of animals being hit at 1000yds with various bullets to determine the lethality?

Hmmm....
Given the OP's criteria for 1,000 yards, penetrate at an oblique angle through the body to reach the vitals (personally I'm opposed to shooting anything in the *** to try to kill it, no matter the distance).
I'm gonna go with a 408 Cheytac on the low side.
50 BMG in the M2, of course.
20mm Vulcan.
40mm Bofors.
Or maybe the GAU8 out of an A10, with the depleted uranium rounds of course...

Honestly if you cant shoot under half moa at 1000 you shouldn't be shooting at animals that far very easy to be gut shot and no bullet will do you a favor there. I can shoot smaller with bergers and a tips then i have with any other bullet and ive loaded them all in many different guns. Ive had issues killing with certain bullets that i wont name because a couple duds isn't enough data to label them terrible when ive had a few great kills with same bullets. But on paper they dont shoot as good for me as the other two have. But i might expect more then most hard sayn
The closer the better...heck, I'll even use my iron sights.Funny how the world turns…..I'm always hoping fir a shot under 50 yards!
