I've gotten bigger.......but not a bad Goat......not a lot of mass though!! This definitely did not test the abilities of the rifle/load though.........getting ready to shoot at 200 yards and he starts walking towards me......ended up about 140 yards LOL. DRT though.........which is always good.

Excellent. As I've grown older, easy shots have become more appreciated. Stupid animals are even more tasty than wise beasts!

Congrats on your speed goat! You were prepared for long range so this would have been a really easy shot for you.

@moose3006 I forgot to ask but how was the meat damage at such a relatively close distance?

If you look at the 200 yard target in this thread.............there is a dime in the picture for reference.

I hate to say it but you missed the dime.
Nice shooting moose, you have a great load there.

I brought it up to ask how you found the meat damage. I'm starting to load this bullet now and was curious. Got them ready to go just need some good weather.

I did hit high.......and some bone........but I don't think that is too bad for an exit. I would guess at longer ranges there would be less damage etc.
