So, my preacher wants to leave this week on a Nilgai hunt. His .300 Win Mag needs sighting in, but there's no time. He wants to borrow my 7 mag. It's all ready and I have about 13 rounds of Federal Premium 160 Nosler Partition for it. He says the ranch manager where he's going says a 7 won't make it through a Nilgai's hide, which I call bunk to. Anything his 300 can kill, a 7 can kill, BUT of course, it takes the right bullet, a controlled expansion bullet. I explained this to him. His only other choice is his son's .308 which might do the job, but I'd admit is a little light.
Anyway, opinions on this load used on Nilgai? I know we have some big game hunters here, but Nilgai is an odd critter and sort of particular to large ranches in Texas. I'd like to go after one myself some day, but I'd probably need two more freezers for that much meat.
