CASH Special are the premium brand/model. But they're very dear. If you're not a slaughterman, and it's for emergency home despatch, a BRNO is perfectly adequate. I've used mine for thousands of sheep and pigs.Cheers I don’t get that paper/ magazine , couldn’t find a huge lot online
Point blank is a bit of a misnomer. I think point blank is officially defined as under a metre or something but a common misconception is pressing the barrel right up tight to the skin which is obviously not a very good idea!the humane slaughter association recommend a 12 bore as the easiest and most humane method for on farm casualty slaughter. Make sure you don't shoot "point blank", leave a few inches between the end of the barrel and the animals head, or you will burst the barrels by the way.
Angle the shot so that it travels down the neck.Point blank is a bit of a misnomer. I think point blank is officially defined as under a metre or something but a common misconception is pressing the barrel right up tight to the skin which is obviously not a very good idea!
The good thing about shotguns is that at close range, 6 inches or so, the shot column is effectively 1 solid 'slug' of lead equivalent to a .73 caliber which will make a big hole and carry a big punch. Also after that initial punch through the school the lead pellets bounce about inside the skull and generally scramble the brains but don't exit. Although they do make a bit of a mess of sheep which is why a smaller 410 is a better idea
