These are for the annual homekill of a tame steer on a lifestyle block. The problem the last two years is that the cattle have somehow had an awareness of what is about to occur and gone from tame to gate wreckers as soon as a stranger with a rifle gets within half a kilometre of the property.
The load only needs to be accurate enough for 15m shot. If I get it right I just need three to prove stability and subsonic velocity and then three more to check POI with suppressor in place. That will leave enough for >a decade of homekill.

if the week before you kill you get a sack of cow food and feed them at the same time every day that problem will dissopear
I read on here taking an apple each time you visit does the same
mine come to the call but thats because they are more pet than stock

you cant shoot any further with the 7x57 sub than you could with the 22lr it just breaks the forehead better
15m is perfect, 30 max sort of thing
