[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1039238, member: 48043"] I have to digress a bit on never shooting a moving target at range. While I would never go anywhere near ELR (1,000 yards or better) on a moving target, I have made 1 shot kills on trotting deer to 600 yards give or take a bit. Most of the gents here are using very heavy for caliber bullets with a rather long time of flight, which doesn't bode well for shooting a moving animal. I won't shoot at an animal when my time of flight exceeds 1/2 second by much at all. You simply have too much lag time for things to change and possibly go wrong when you go there. If there is a question as to whether you will make the shot, don't do it. Most times moving game is also going over uneven ground, so I'll hold off until the game stops to avoid a bad hit from an elevation or direction change from the animal. [/QUOTE]
