[QUOTE="Broz, post: 800677, member: 7503"] Ok, Thanks! That explains why your estimate for a 215 you stated was off 150 fps or so, you haven't loaded them. So you make running shots on deer at 500-600 yards? I take may hat off to your sir. :) I would have zero confidence on that shot with my shooting skills. I am not even sure I would waste my ammo to try for a coyote in those conditions. Do you dial for a shot like that and lead it, or just hold the reticle over and add a proper lead? I would think that would mean the cross hairs would be in front and above the deer?? That would be a tuff shot and how would one even practice for it? I could see where a fast bullet would be of use in this situation. But I guess I just don't need to take that kind of shot often where I hunt. Thanks! Jeff [/QUOTE]
