Wish I had that problem! 
What bullet are you pitching from the 22-243? My gut tells me to be itchy about a 1,000yrd coyote, let alone 1,500yrd coyote, with a 22cal, no matter what the speed. I'm sure it can be done, especially if you're looking at heavy for cal projectiles 75-90grn ballpark, but I'd sure be looking for a bit more bullet weight to do the job on the back end.
I've always wished that VHA site would link the submission pics and some details about the rigs, rounds, and shots to the names in the long range clubs. If you missed the issue, you missed the details.

So something around 450-500ft.lbs. at 1,000? Like I said, it makes me itchy thinking about a 22cal coyote at 1,000, but it's got a lot more going for it than the 223rem's and 22-250's I usually throw after them.

Energy with the 90gr VLD outta a 22/243 ack is about 730lbs at 1000.
