I'm in the middle of reading Elmer Keiths book Hell I was There. He wrote about shooting a mountain goat with a 5.5" SA .45 Colt. He chased it for 2 miles taking shots when he could at distances up to 200 yards. He said he hit it with 10 of the 18 rounds he fired. At that point he was down to 6 rounds which he did not want to use since he was in grizzly country. He was able to slip up on the goat and hit it in the head with his axe to finish it off. He said the old .45 slugs he was using were only creating small holes and not causing much tissue damage. Maybe I'll start packing a few more rounds with me just in case.
