    as above, a 300black out is not a bigger / more powerful cartridge than a 308.

    The bang comes from the escaping gases and a 308 subsonic will have way more gas and a larger hole than a 22 supersonic.
    That round is a full metal jacket. They are not designed to kill anything other than paper and it only has 400 flb's of energy.
    Minium recommended energy for a deer is 1000flb's at the deer. A bull is much bigger and way more dangerous than a deer.

    For cattle using a 308 you need full power and a premium controlled expansion round. Ie 160-180gr at 26-2700 fps,
