7mm vs .308

And how far can a moose/deer/critter move in .6 to .7 seconds?

If it was moving at 10 mph in .6-.7 seconds a moose or deer is gone at 600 yds. But who is going to shoot at a moving critter at that range and risk a wounded animal.

He said .6 or .7 (0.6 or 0.7) seconds, not 6 or 7.

88ft/sec is 60 mph
10 mph is 14.5 ft/sec
So in .66 sec the moose would have gone 10 ft so wherever you were aiming on the moose it is not there when the bullet gets there.
That I think is the point I was trying to make but my calculations could be wrong. But I notice I did say 6-7 not .6-.7! Sorry.
