    22 wmr vs goats

    How well does the 22 mag deal with goats at closer ranges up to 50mtrs or so.
    I am looking for an all round rabbit , possum up to goat sized rifle.
    I would expect to be making head shots rather than body shots.
    will the 22 mag do the job ?
    I have no experience with this caliber so would like to know if I am heading in the right direction for what I intend to use it for.
    I think at the ranges expected to be used 223 is overkill and I do not want to be shooting possums in a tree with 223 for obvious reasons.
    Thinking heavier 40-50 gr for goats and possibly down to light rounds or possibly subs for possums in trees.

    Dreaming...or doable ?
