Bang flop on pigs, cows, horses, etc 99 times out of 100.
I’ve never done the post mortum though..... interesting to see the damage done and the bullet distortion.
My missus has people come to the farm to take sick cows and bulls, some with broken legs or joints, others with cancer and other sicknesses for dog meat.
When they roll up with a .22 she asks them to leave and come back with something bigger.
She's seen too many not go down with the first shot... she respects her animals too much to allow that to happen any more.
Sometimes I do the job for them if they don't have a bigger gun.
I've seen it for myself with a cow in the race...
Old mate say "I always use the .22, never had a problem"
POP ! .... MOO
The clown only had one bullet on him to, heads to his car to get a few more ... POP ! MOO MOO
POP! POP!
"That's never happened before"
I leave the .22 for rabbits,
