[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 687029, member: 17844"] Lead on a running target is not the same as wind drift . The lead that you may need is also a function of your swing style , the time it takes you to fire the shot ( brain to trigger time ) , the speed of the bullet and the speed , range and angle of the target . I can assure you that if a coyote is running at 30 MPH at 90 degrees at say 200 yards you will need a lot more than 10 inch lead . Something like 6 feet will be needed to hit him behind the shoulders . Also wind drift can add or subtract from that lead . There is no way I would be using a 55 grain bullet for running shots. Use a heavy bullet to try and take wind out of the equation as much as possible. The rolling of car tires with targets in them is a great idea [/QUOTE]
