At end of day it's what your comfortable with.
I'm not sure about up here but down south island Wanaka i think had shooting range that let you fire all manner of cal. Wasn't cheap but if there's something like that up these ways, you may be to get on a range and test fire a few differnt cal and see if any are more preferable to what you want. |

Just a thought, had a friend who used to (and probably still does) shoot a 22-250 for goats.
Was looking at this video last night https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=viatCbGtdZ8 |

Billbob, I actually have a 22-250.
Can’t even compare the cost of ammo for a 22-250 to a .17HMR or a .22Mag 😳 I’ve been considering how cheaply I could reload for, and I think I can get it down to about $1.20 a round, so if I’m reloading it’s not much more than the rimfires. A 223rem is another caliber I think would be great for goats, but if I’ve already got a 22-250 it’s hard to justify getting a 223 😂. Only problem is my 22-250 has a beautiful, and heavy, laminated stock and a heavy bull barrel, not ideal for trapsing around the hills with. |

Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.
