It has noticeably more noise and recoil than some other options, without a real advantage to justify it. Nothing wrong with the way it kills animals, its just that more efficient options will kill...

It is overgunned for goats. Its waning popularity is due mostly to poor selection of high bc bullets in that bore size.

Jw 103 has been a good, reliable killer of both goats & deer where we hunt & I've only used Norinco FMJ so far. My hunting companion uses the Barnaul sp which helps in the tissue damage dept. The JW...

If it's mainly goats go for 223. Quality ammo is dirt cheap. If you actually want to start shooting deer (ie more than a couple a year) then I'd get a 308 - you can get dirt cheap ammo for the goats...

I'll chuck a vote for 308 as your first center fire with a 20" barrel plenty of great rifles new or secondhand. If you have a look around you can pickup 308 ammo for same price as 223. Get some...

You can always try another brand but a 2inch plate at 70mtrs is a dead rabbit 100% of the time. Nice going mate.
