Thread: Semi Auto 22 WMR vs Bolt action 223 for goats

Agree 100%. 223. Much better range, flatter trajectory, much less wind affected, much more stopping power, and alot more humane for the animal.

Can't think of any reason to go 22 WMR - and semi or bolt is not relevant. Semi might help you get another shot away quicker with a wounded animal, but with something like Howa min 223, you shouldn't need a second.
