    Hey @Liquidasset another fantastic goat calibre is 222 Remington. They are quieter, more accurate (according to historical world records) and cheaper to reload if you are into that. Having said that, you have to balance that against availability and cost of factory ammunition (there are often $1 per round deals on 223 but not 222) and obviously 223 is more powerful and fires heavier projectiles. That said 222 is an excellent goat (and deer) calibre.
