I saw an article in (I think) Outdoor Life about shooting at running deer. The lead at a running deer at the distance of 100 - 125 yards is more than a foot or two, I voted 2-1/2 bodies. Although, I don't shoot at running deer.
The lead required varies dramatically with the cartridge used andhow you swing the gun.Obviously it takes much less lead using a cartridge with a muzzle velocity of3500fps(my 7mmstw)than it does with a cartridge producing only 2200fps(30-30win).
