YOu are so right, I"ll never shoot at big game animal at 1000 yards or beyond.
But I may one day shoot one at 1000 or beyond....
Wind drift is always an issue, drop is always workable.
OTOH, 6.5x47 is on my build list...
But having killed deer to almost 600 with a 223 non AI...horror, i'm not sure why.
Of course one could say why own a BMG too... and heck we've never even shot it past almost 1900 yards yet.... no fun there.
