So what does the speed at which a deer can run vs. a human have to do with how well a cartridge can kill at range? The deer I shot at 560 yds ran a grand total of 35 yds. Put the bullet where it belongs and no animal is going to get very far. Bullet size and energy other than what is needed to penetrate to the vitals is irrelevant.
