It's a joke. I've killed them with 6mm/284, 270, 30/30, 30/06, 35 Whelen and 357 but never a rimfire.
Ah gotcha Wow was there much left of them after that .357? Probably shot and butchered it at one time Honestly, the bullet never hit the grouse. I think it died of fright That said, funny you should mention the 357 over the 6mm/284 or the 270

If you shoot the heads off,there ain't any meat damage. 270 shooting 110gr Barnes TSX, distance was 95 yards, give or take

Been a lot of years since I've found many grouse here so don't get to crazy about it. In Montana and Alaska grouse hunting was great. My favorite grouse gun was a Browning Double auto in 12ga. Then don the road some years I picked up a Rem 870 Special Field. Had it bored out to IC and it was a really fast gun. If I get back into it like I would like I'll use my AyA 28ga Matador, not expensive gun just handles great! I have shot a couple with it and one with my 410 AyA! whats a double auto shotgun? The Double Auto was a line of 12 ga semiauto shotguns sold by Browning from the mid 1950s through the 1960s. As the name implies, they held only two rounds- one in the chamber and one in the magazine. They came in steel, alloy, and aluminum receivers with the names, "Standard", "Twelvette", and "Twentyweight" respectively to denote the typical weights. They were not overly popular but we're kind of neat looking.

Looks more like a pigeon Steelhead. Okay a little egocentric thinking that your grouse was our ruffed grouse and as a western dude that one is probably a western capercaillie or wood grouse. Being a birder I just checked and there are 12 different grouse species in North America.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

When I am elk hunting with my 338 mag. I carry a couple cast bullet loads. 220 grain round nose with 10 grains of unique. They run about 800fps and are dead on at 25yds. Sounds like a rimfire and doesn't destroy any meat.

Tweed: I try to head/base of neck shoot the Grouse I harvest with my 22 L.R. pistols and Rifles. I prefer the wonderful Winchester Power-Point hollow-points - both accurate and lethal. Good luck with whichever you choose. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
