I hunted Nilgai a few years ago, using my .375 Ruger, and 270 gr. Barnes TSX bullets.

My shot on a very nice bull was just shy of 200 yards, behind the shoulder hit, and the bull dropped in his tracks.

The bullet was recovered from under the hide on the far side, showing the typical, perfect Barnes mushroom.

I have other calibers that would probably have worked just as well, but this was a warm-up for Africa, so I used the .375.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
