    Semi Auto 22 WMR vs Bolt action 223 for goats

    How's it guys

    Il be looking at getting a tool specifically for goats in the very near future, these seem to be the two options for cost effective culling. Ive done some reading on the topic here on the forums but the threads were older, from the days of "the black gun" The question im asking is, does the fact the WMR is a semi and the cheaper cost of ammo make up for what it lacks in power in comparison to the 223?

    What route would you go given the option? Let me know!
