Rod- the Swiss rancher we stay with when gopher shooting, uses the Savage .22 Hornet for his stock shooting. 40gr.HP in the mellon does the trick - except on one old bull - just knocked himout. Franz runs a butcher shop on the ranch - everything from alpacka's to beef, moose, elk, bear and deer - whatever's in season - HA!
That should work like a lightswitch.
One of the mobile butchers in our area uses a Marlin 57 in .22 Mag, a rare levergun. He uses it on beef cattle docile enough to come in to a pan of grain and under those circumstances it works just fine.
