    Use 40 grain ammunition fiocchi, Winchester etc even chest shots out to 100 or so yards will penetrate well and do serious damage within the rib cage. Unless you can shoot the atlas joint avoid the light stuff like Hornady it tends to "skin pop"
    There was an article in the long gone guns and hunting magazine that included some terminal damage autopsy work with 22 mag on goats.
    Dublin, schwen and Hugh Shields like this.
