[QUOTE="Marky_mark, post: 2803630, member: 113618"] Goats are narrow bodied animals so you want a bullet that expands rapidly on impact. The biggest thing is being confident in what you’re shooting, and placing one where it needs to go with the first shot. I’d much rather shoot an animal at 400 yards with the rifle I’m comfortable shooting at 600. Rather than stretching the limits with a different rifle just because it’s bigger. Selecting the proper bullet for the animal is more important than the caliber of your rifle. Personally I would try to get something like a 130gr Berger going around 3000 fps. Spotting your own impacts is very important with the language barrier. [/QUOTE]
