I guess it would depend on distance. I have seen 4 cow Rosie's drt with my 7-08 and barns 140. The shots were 200 yards and in. By young hunters. These were big mature cows. Where we hunt in Western Oregon you don't get many really long distance shots. I have a friend who has killed 25 plus bulls with a 270 and 130 grain partition.

If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.
