Very sorry to hear that sir. As Art suggested, I think your problem was shot placement more than ammo choice.

I've seen a number of large-ish animals (sheep, goats, cows, pigs) dispatched cleanly with a single bullet directly behind the ear with a 22LR using generic WalMart type ammo.

I hope you never have the misfortune of trying again.
