[QUOTE="Clark, post: 423369, member: 6600"] In October 2008 I shot a number of grazing mule deer at 400 to 500 yards with my 270. Half were bang flop, the other half ran 50 feet. In November 2008 I opened fire on a column of single file walking elk at 625 yards with my 270. I missed. In 2010 I drew another cow elk tag for the same place. I am switching to a 7mmRemMag. But now I am thinking that if the bullet takes 0.8 seconds to go that far, I need to know the speed of the animals so I can shoot in front of them. a) How fast do elk walk? b) Also, how long are elk from the chest to the tail? c) How tall are they from the belly to the back? TIA [/QUOTE]
