   WaikatoBushman liked post by Mathias On thread : Semi Auto 22 WMR vs Bolt action 223 for goats

   I've been lucky enough to have shot private property for goat eradication and have probably accounted for close to 1500 goats over the years. 223 all the way is the answer. I went from a 6 shot Sako...

   yes the 22-250 I took a newbie out -never shot anything bigger than a possum - he had bought a 22-250 nice early Tikka LSA - big billy -well he stuffed around and finally goat turned arse on and...

   100% agree with Barry , .22wmr is a waste of time. It’s easy to get the first one with a well placed head shot but hopeless once they start running. I’ve culled plenty in both islands whilst farming...

   as Timattalon says 7.62x39 is an option - but if ya really want a goat round then the .22x250 is it - devastating- we tried to get ammo for it issued but no luck - rather hard on ears though -when I...

   Depending on range 7.62x39 could be an option too...WMR would not be my choice on goats - and if you need rapid follow up shots then lever action like a BLR could be the go too. (dearer though) ...

   Hey Folks, I have been working on a 22lr resizing / hollow pointing tool. What I have made is basically a direct copy of the Neal Waltz die, with a couple of minor changes. His design is by far the...

   You really have to be carefull with the background of the thing you are shooting at when using those 308 subsonic ammo, they generally do not expend, and depending what you are shooting at they can...

    Years back shot a few on the Huntly side of those hills. A group from the indoor 22club would go in once a month shooting posium's 200-400 night was typical. Goats were also fair game but not...

    Hard to argue with Barry. I would have said that for Bush shooting a 22wmr would acceptable ie less than 50mtr less than 30 mostly. But to ethically kill multiple goats at 100mtr then I say no. ...

    Agree 100%. 223. Much better range, flatter trajectory, much less wind affected, much more stopping power, and alot more humane for the animal. Can't think of any reason to go 22 WMR - and semi...

    I'm not a professional culler, but I sure have shot a lot of goats. If I was setting up a specific goat rifle for a mix of farm land and bush I'd set up a .223 Howa mini with a suppressed 16" barrel...
