A .22wm makes about 300#ft at the muzzle. Plenty of deer have been killed with those and at longer ranges. Lots of folks hunt with .44mag and those are barely topping 850-1000 at the muzzle from a carbine or pistol.
But I certainly understand and respect the sentiment. 800-1000 was what my dad always taught me. That’s 350-550 yards on the rifles I would use at those distances, and almost always closer, but sometimes I only have a 30-60 yard shot.
