sure,
I shoot a 7mm Allen Mag, it tuns a 160 nosler downrange at 3575 fps, 500 yard TOF is just under 1/2 sec. just shooting isn't all there is to long range hunting, you study the game enough to know by its actions when you have the window for the shot, its not that hard to tell, my longest shot to date had a TOF of 1.6 sec.
but in the event of a bad hit, deer do not sprint off in a blind terror like they do when the muzzle blast is in they're face, they seldom even move more than 30-40 feet.
My 2 bad hits that I have had since 1981 have went like this, one hit too far back at 611 yards due to the light wasn't good appeared to be broadside when in fact she was quartering too, she made 3 jumps and bedded down, I gave it 1/2 moa of up and the next round took her through the head.
The other was 1350 yds, hit a bit back in the liver, ran 30 yards layed down and was dead in less than a minute, that 2 out of 51 deer shot at beyond 400 yards, hows your average?
