Horses. My Dad puts down about one every year. He typically uses a .38 Special but he has used a .22LR Um just curious. Its cool I guess that a .22lr will kill a horse but why in the fuuuu would that be the caliber chosen to do so if others are readily availiable? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Because it doesn't really matter when you're sticking the muzzle behind their ear and firing directly into the brain stem. |

It is all about shot placement. /thread. Better question: At what distance, and under what other circumstances, can you reliably place a .22lr bullet into an animal's brain or heart? I'd say 15yds max for brain shot with a 22LR. You are being very conservative. In this post Ruger 10-22, I shoot a .22 into .181 inches at 25 yards. 
I believe that leaves some room for error for brain shots at longer ranges.
