Good advice!

You are welcome.

Goat hunt newbie! 7PRC or 300 Win, both beasts! I'd say roll with the 7PRC, super accurate and less recoil. Bullet-wise, try the 160-175gr Nosler or Hornady, they're straight fire!

Just finished a successful mountain goat hunt in SE AK. 7 PRC Hornady ELDX 175g Precision Hunter dropped it where it stood from 470yds. It was a good shot, but the bullet was devastating for the animal.

As we read this post the biggest thing that pops up is not the caliber or bullet but more or less proper shot placement.

AK guide buddy is switching to monolithics for everything. He's guided over dozens of billy kills. My goat bullet was berger until now: destroyed the vitals and lots of fragments in meat near wound channel. Goat didn't take a step after I hit him, just flipped over dead.

I killed a grizzly and caribou with hammers this year. First season using them: anecdote, but I was impressed. I am going to use them as my default bullet moving forward.

Which hammer bullet? What cartridge. Range?
