    @ Friwi I totally agree mate, goats are very light bodied and I have had many pass throughs with even high velocity rounds.. if you dont hit bone results can be disappointing.
    I stopped body shots many years ago as the head is no smaller kill zone as the chest vitals.
    The 300gr .338 whisper I had was a different story.. I saw many goats body shot and their legs just went out from under them and that was it. A lot more energy dumped with that one I suspect and the longer bullet was less likely to pass through even on lightly built goats.

    I have shot many of the lighter HPs including Roberts 150gr HP and some of my own custom mould lighter 85gr and 105gr HPs with great results on rabbits/hares but have not put them on goats as Im favouring the .223AI at the mo with longer range work.
