    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...

    I started shooting with the 243, 75 gr on goats, fallow and then when the rifle moved to my care I added the Berger 87gr hunter and it's nailed a few red's. Then I added a bolt action fast twist...

    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...

    Dam I was a bit slow. Going to say I shoot a fair few with 22mag, any heart lung shot side on is going put them down as long as you are't using the 30 gr TNT type loads, and at sensible ranges. PS...
