Thread: .270 Too big for Goat Hunting?

If you want to kill em dead then a 270 will do the job just fine.

Better going with a 223 or 243. A 270 will kill them find thou, just a lot of bang and extra recoil for no extra benefit. They all drop them, but you prob be more accrurate with the others rather than a 270 if you havnt done a lot of shooting...seen it before after a few shots the newbie starts finching etc and wouldn't have a shit show hitting a goat in the head at a senseable range with a 270, but with a 243 easy as cause the rat gun rules
