He did have a point.

can't argue with that logic I guess , but I am not dragging the 338 out for goats and find even the 308 destroys to much meat for my liking . Loved the ar for goats , 'nuff said about that , but think 223 would be dangerous shooting up into trees at possums and figure a wmr would be a good option if effective on goats . And I would like a semi again , bad , bad man that I am.
