Elmer Keith wrote a piece a number of years ago about a fellow in a timber camp who dropped an elk from about 15' with a .22 (headshot). Unfortunately, I can't place the name of the article or the magazine that it appeared in. Skeeter Skelton also wrote about a friend of his who owned a slaughterhouse who used a S&W k-22 to kill steers and large hogs. I guess if you can place that little 40 grain solid with 'surgical precision' it will drop nearly anything.
