    22 mag would be the best rimfire for the job but still not that ideal to be humane really
    as others have said a cf lever gun would probably be the best bet slow at 1st but with a bit of practice almost as quick as a semi
    use the time it takes to switch targets to reload doing to things at once can be fun though

    side note (and i dont wanna turn this thread into yet another fuck this fuck that thread re the new gunlaws) but has your mate applied for a p endorsement i know they said farmers weren't eligible but i think they have relaxed a little on that front ive herd of other farmers being successful with p endorsement applications

    Im using a Ruger American predator 223 for culling goats, takes 10rd Pmag/AR15 mags.
    Mag changes are quick etc.
    The stock is shit but mostly shooting offhand so doesnt matter too much.

    Ive shot enough goats with the 22lr to know not to bother with it, Also have used a 22 KHornet and found that a bit average also.
    Bullet mass on target solves problems
