I think you need a 358 Win or 35 Whelen, That will keep you busy for a while, then make up some pistol bullet loads (150-180 gr XTP's) for goats @ sub 2000 fps, Some accubonds, 225/250 gr for cattle...

Oh for a semi for large mobs at short range. And I guess this was the question. I know I have dumped 5 goats from 5 shots from my Sav 99 lever action in 243 with down loaded 58gr vmax's at 2400...
