We took care of our own cattle dispatching at our feed lot for years, now we higher it out.
Our butcher takes care of the full meal deal.
About 20 to 40 ft, a quick whistle as the steer looks him down,,, the small pop from the 22-250 head long drops them instantly.
Mine you that's he's pretty fast with the knife to finishing things fast. X the ears to eyes,,, lights out.
I final finished the Bell story,,, I bet he wished he could of lived longer to see his dream come true.
This is what he wrote in his last days:
However, if he had to do it all over again with a modern rifle he would choose a Winchester Model 70 in .308 Winchester loaded with homogenous bullets and sighted with a ghost ring rear aperture sight.
Even Bell knew that better cartrages were been offered, the 308 would of been one of those cartrages back in those days.
Whoops, forgot to add,,, Bell needed more than 1 shot to put most elephants down,,, it took 1200 rounds to dispach 800 of them.
