As I said, I can tell you from experience that .303 enfield with hunting rounds works fairly well out to at least 200 or so yards - shot placement doesn't even have to be that good. The GOOD thing about having the payloader was we were able to scoop up the bodies, and bury them quickly

His farm was just tin the "wrong place", far enough from the city to be a farm, close enough that the idiots who wanted to dump a dog, rather than take it to a shelter would bring them to the area, and release them. It didn't help that it was also one of those "vacation communities". The population in the area probably went up 4x between US Memorial day and Labor day, despite it being in Canada (he lived oh, 1/2-3/4 mile from the lake, and close enough to Buffalo that they had tons of US vacationers who owned summer houses)
