Thread: Calibre for goats and occasional deer?

Jw 103 has been a good, reliable killer of both goats & deer where we hunt & I've only used Norinco FMJ so far. My hunting companion uses the Barnaul sp which helps in the tissue damage dept. The JW does need a bedding job though to get the best out of its accuracy. I found the 223 a bit light on the deer unless you place the shot well, & the 308 is over gunned for goats IMO. Most shots done in NZ bush are out to 200yds anyway.
Good luck in your search.
Phil.
