I think that is broadly the UK legal range.

To be blunt about it, to kill a large animal cleanly requires a single 
massively traumatic event. Many hunters will not shoot until they can 
get a head shot. Either they miss, or they kill.  No wounded animals 
dying of blood loss.

To do that level of damage requires a bit more than even a high velocity 
..22 can manage. I believe those have a tendency to go straight through.
