[QUOTE="Broz, post: 588623, member: 7503"] LOL, Thanks Feenix. I think the "Palomino Speed Goat" is the perfect long range game. They are out all day feeding, easy to spot, usually in open ares where the spotter can keep an eye one if he runs off with your bullet, ( I havent had this happen yet with the .338) and they pack out easy. But no matter what caliber is used, it should be metioned how tough these goats really are. The area with vitals is very small and the diaphram is not far behind the front shoulder. I use the corner of white hair for an aim point and it works great. But if the goat is slightly angled, not perfectly broadside to you, and you are a bit far back it will exit in behind the diaphram and only get intestines. I wasn't kidding about them running off with their intestines hanging out and will go a long ways. Most of the guys that hunt these goats will tell you they will travel far and stand there for hours wounded from a shot to far back. Just thought I would toss this out there. I try to get ribs right behind the shoulder on both sides. But I crowd toward the shoulder as I feel a lost shoulder is better than a goat suffering for to long that could be lost. Here is the pic of the goat in the video at 820 yards. This is the white corner point of aim I like. NO lost meat here, I don't debone goat ribs.. :D Back then I was using 300 SMK's in my .338 LM. Now I shoot the 300 Bergers. Jeff. [IMG]http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg91/JBroz1/DSC00599Large.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
