Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Nilgai, How much gun is enough?

I shot my "meat cow" with a 140 gr Accubond, MV of 3200 fps, so I doubt that a .243 100 gr bullet @ 3000 fps would fail to collect your meat.

But truth to tell, I haven't cared all that much for the flavor of nilgai, either the cow I shot or the bull a friend shot and shared with me. The meat is really bland compared to our common North American species of deer and antelope... kinda like veal, I'd describe it. Which is not to say it's bad, I just prefer something with bit more of a game flavor.

Just my humble.
