Thread: 22 mag for goats?

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 fps, was only 5-10 mtr.
Thats were a 10 shot mag and a 22 mag semi would be just fine. Being down loaded made it much faster to regain a sight picture between shots.
I did get lucky in that they ran up towards me then across.
