One more thing. Contrary to what you may have heard, goats are not that hard to kill. Most of the stories about them soaking up one shot after another are because of bullets that are too heavy, and too heavily constructed.
A really big billy is not nearly as wide as a big whitetail, and tough bullets just zip on through. I have often wondered if a 22-250 might not be a good goat cartridge.
I do know that 130 gr cup and core 270 bullets at high velocity shoot flat and anchor 300+ lb goats in a hurry.
