In a story that proves shot placement is everything, a college student in Washington State killed a 200 pound cougar at 100 yards with a broken .22 rifle.
Those "in the know" will often suggest that a .223 (same caliber as is used by the US Military) is inadequate against game that large. The .223 is the same diameter, twice the weight, and travels about three times the speed of the lowly .22 LR cartridge.
This time David beats Goliath. And does so while proving something my dad taught me long ago - what size gun you use is important, but it is most important where you shoot.
