    I've shot wild cattle a few times, go as big as you can especially if there are bulls, I have used a 9.3 x62 and a 3006, mate has used a 300 win mag bullet weights as heavy as you can get. Yes I suppose you can use small light weight bullets if you can get a head shot in but having had to track down a beast wounded by 2 708 shoulder shots i wouldn't . My experience is in scrub country so we were sometimes shooting through foliage and twigs even at close range so you want a good solid bullet.
