And the same year of those two examples (2010) I was involved in 8 archery bull kills.
So no, even a 22/250 isn't necessary.
Kent That does it..I am going to start hunting with a Louisville Slugger.

Just make sure and use a hickory one... the maple are too frangible and pron to failure.

Growing up, we would raise calves from day old dairy males they didn't want. Sometimes we would get them for chores or 5 bucks. My brother and I would raise them then sell'm at the auction, keeping 2 or 3 a year to butcher for the us and the extended family.
When I was about 11 or 12 my dad had me take over the killing chore on the calves... I was already the most efficient with a knife and club on the chickens, rabbits we raised, occasional goat and pig.
22 short where the imaginary X marks the spot and lights out.
One of his friends buys some old range bull at the auction and brings him over for us to butcher... I shoot it multiple times trying to find a way through the skull plate and it just shook it's head like a fly landed on it.
My dad had to finally go get the 06...
Sometimes a bigger stick is required.
But mainly, it's not hard to kill an animal.

Kent, my grandad had a hatchery and slaughter house. I used to help with the butchering, and back then (before humane killers were required) we used a single shot 22lr on all comers with never a problem... but a slaughter house is a more controlled environment than on your own back 40.
Yeah, mainly it's not hard to kill an animal.

Not 150''s but 168g TTSX bullets served will in my M700 .308W. Don't have a .308 Win anymore but still use 168g TTSX to good effect in my .30-06's.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Very happy with TSX, TTSX, Accubond, Partition, certain Ballistic Tip, and lots of Remington Corelokt and Hornady Interlocks in bigger bores.
I have my favorites, but don't play them.

My youngest son took a cow elk two years ago with a 130 gr TTSX out of his 270 winchester. They were reloads I had worked up for him.
Im thinking my 240 wby's would take an elk with a 95 gr TTSX.
