    we found MOST times they will break uphill,they like high ground....keep shooting the leader as flyblown has said and the others may mill around long enough to get more...many times I went 6 from 6 with the poohseventy.....within 200 yards I would do the same with .223 for certain.
    we used to make pocket/beer money head shooting goats with .22lr......by far and away the MOST effective way to do so was to round them up with stock dogs into corner of fence where they could be kept within 50 yards...mate had tiny wee scope and it was great...looking back I wouldve done it way easier with the .223
    Ive shot half dozen with .22magnum......the .223 is just miles better in so many ways.
