    fair enough...was just thinking how its like the lyrics from song by Joe Walsh
    "my car does 195,lost my licence so now I dont drive"

    for now he could do alot worse than use his BLR in whatever calibre it is...308/243/7mm-08/223??? any and all will more than do the job.
    something as simple as changing projectile will make huge difference to the "instantness" of knock down in any of the calibres mentioned.
    you said he has levers...asssumably more than the BLR...... depending on accuracy/calibre there will be options there too.
    personally have never found goats hard to kill other than when using .22lr with open sights....that worked too but had to get close... the .223 is just about perfect goat round IF you use right projectiles.... the .243 is pretty hard to argue with either...feed a .308 with 130grn hp speers and NO goat will take more than a step if hit even half reasonably.
    there are options.
