    I'm no dairy farmer and ive only ever shot two beefys and they were both at about 50cm with a .22 . They both dropped like a sack of spuds... I can internalise the reason for discouraging rimfires on large animals. As the more energy the better. Have you seen cows not humanely killed with a 22?
    Is it just shot placement the problem? 40g of lead at over 1000fps has. Penetrated bone/ brain no problems in my experience.. I'm not condoning it as I agree a center fire would be better.
