    Not the same thing I know but I used 142gr SMK for awhile in my 6.5x55, very accurate but straight through wallaby, not always a clean kill, they were dead alright just didn't know it for awhile.Only going 2660 though.Just keep them for gong shooting now.
    Can't see the same problem with rabbits, should anchor them
    Can't comment on the Goats.

    I have used 142gr SMK on the game you mentioned. They work fine on rabbits, there are better choices for wallaby and they are hopeless on goats. They go straight through.
