I do.

Hands up who has had more one shot kills at 1000+ yards (metres whatever) than misses or wounding?

This is why the people that do this stuff don't post!
You have just as much chance of wounding one at 100 yards.

I’d be the first to agree with that statement.

I’ll bite.

The difficulty of a 1000y shot is actually everything but the shot itself. By the time you have dug in to make the shot you already know what your ES is you already know that every time you pull the trigger your shot will be better than .5 moa you already know that this wind is say 2.5 which is a pretty typical wind adjustment even on a good day. My LR 7mm WSM is more consistent than my F-Class rifle ever was. Especially with the 180 Hybrid. The 180 hybrid is very effective at 1000y. To say I have never wounded @ 1000 is bullshit yes I have indeed. But my second shot won’t nor will my third. At best I can get about 12-15 shots before fouling etc. starts having some effect and elevation starts climbing.

In short I kill far more than I wound.
