[QUOTE="gyrfalcon, post: 2361717, member: 120244"] Goat hunting usually implies lots of walking and climbing. A hunting rifle never should be a burden, tiring you out and preventing you to go over that next rise where they may be.” Killing knock down power” is grossly over rated, the bullet needs to be first of all well placed. Shooting long range in mountainous terrain is extremely difficult due to unknown, unreadable winds high up. Perfect recipe for gut shots and lost wounded animals. Goats are not hard to kill with a .270 or 6.5. similar with well placed shots. Much “bullet resistance “ of goats was attributable to slow expanding bullet choices. Remember a goats width of its chest is not very wide. A fast expanding bullet a better choice. A lightweight medium caliber flat shooting rifle in the hands of a fit person, who is willing to climb up where the goats are, is best [/QUOTE]
