Goat bullets.

[AK Troutbum]

I've had really good luck with Barnes TTSX bullets, but that's also pretty much the only thing I'm using these days.

Short action? Barrel length?

short Action with wyatts extended mag 2.990” max COL. 24” barrel. I need to find some RL 26 for the 180s.

I used a 7mm Rem with a 160 Nosler Partition at 2950fps. It dropped in its tracks. Minimal hide damage, couldn’t be happier

178gr eldx out of a .300wsm does the trick

New user here trying to hit my 10 posts before I can really do anything on the site. Strange requirement but I presume there's a reason for it. I drew a mountain goat tag in Colorado this year and I appreciate this thread as I'm weighing caliber and bullet choices.

Blacktail Sniper, I'm new to the forum trying to rack up my first 10 posts but I'll say that my .280 AI LOVE Hornady GMXs. I throw handholds in 139 gr or 150 gr with great success. I drew a mountain goat tag in Colorado this year and I'm having the same debate with myself about what to use. the .280 AI is the minimum I'd consider but I'm thinking about going to the ol .300 Win Mag for this hunt to have heavier shoulder-breaking power and as much bad medicine as I can (it's the biggest cartridge I own).

308 130gr ttsx for me. Works on everything else

I’m taking a Berger 245 Elite Hunter out of a 300 Norma Improved.

Never shot a goat but I have a hunt in BC coming up. As of now I’m planning to take a 6.5 prc with 147eldm. That plan could always change.

 

[Cspraggins]

killed one with a 155grain Terminal Ascent out of a 7PRC. Killed another with a 200-grain Accubond out of a 300 win mag. Both killed the goats no problem with shots over 400 yards.

That is a great choice. You will be fine.

Same here! Well, the load not the BC part. Planning to goat hunt with 20" 6.5 PRC shooting 147eldm at 2790. It's the most accurate rifle I own and has been a deadly combo on whitetail and blacktail so I don't see why a goat would be any different.

My wife has a goat tag this fall. The plan is to use a 116 TMK out of a 6 creed on her goat. We will ses how it goes.

Nice! That makes me feel better about my decision lol.

Plain old 140g core lokt out of my 264 Win for my one and only goat-ever-200 yards. Crushed him.

My only personal experience with goats was one I killed with my bow. I’ve seen a few other rifles
Kills. But I think the 6 creed with the 116 will be awesome

Put the bullet where it needs to go and won't be a problem. Last two goats I've used a 6mm 106 gr A-tip

I killed my first goat 48 years ago here in Montana with a 180 gr Partition from my .30 Gibbs.

After 47 years of unsuccessfully applying, I finally drew another goat tag here in the unit just north of my home. I'll be using my .300 Wby and a 180 gr TTSX.

I've taken one with a 108 ELDM and it died on the spot. Saw a second taken with the same gun and load, it took two shots that were too high and forward, bailed of a 20ish foot cliff and slid 500ish feet down. It wasn't going anywhere else, but took a third shot to the vitals to kill.
