    ok Ive asked about this before elsewhere and used calibre a bit years back..... first up there is two types of factory ammo....rifle and handgun...the rifle is way faster/better
    the issue with cartridge factory loads is most are either for paper/plinking or to stop two legged threat at close range without over penertration.... from memory you need to look at the 170ish grn weight and pick your loads with above in mind...that said goats arent hard to kill and body size/weight/resistance isnt a mile away from the ........bad guys.....so home defence type ammo should be fine....
