Actually, you’d be surprised. The 6BR rocks at short range and 600, but for 1000 you indeed do see magnums. Largely, .284 Wheeler, 7WSM, .300WSM, 6.5-284, and so on. The smaller cases like the PPCs and the BRs just don’t have the gas for the wind.

I believe the recent 1,000 yard record was set with a .300WSM firing a clean score and ten-round group of something like 2.69”.
