[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 7373452, member: 86972"] .22 rimfire is a common calibre for captive bolt guns. We have different loads for different size pigs. Presumably there's a cartridge out there for cattle as well. The wire-jiggling bit is called pithing. It's one of the two ways to legally kill an animal with a bolt gun (the other being bleeding). Legally speaking, bolt guns are only considered a means of stunning an animal, although in practice they are very effective at killing an animal outright. [/QUOTE]
