He had a 7mm-08 but all he had was "deer hunting" bullets (forget "Use enough gun", I say "Use enough bullet"). Shot him at about 50 yards and the brush exploded with nilgai running all over. Dropped him in his tracks with a neck shot. He's not a full grown bull, but big enough!

Dirtfarmer Campfire 'Bwana D Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 37,025 Central Louisiana	Yeah, seems I read here on the Fire, it's not the headstamp... I'm thinking 200 gr. NPT/.300 WM. Also, mono-metals seem well suited for Nilgai. A friend and I hunted Nilgai on the Yturria last Spring. Good eating, for sure. I'm wanting to shoot a cow, as I'm not interested in a Nilgai trophy, just the meat. He mounted his, looks better than I thought, still not a head I want to mount. DF

I guess Nilgai aren't big enough or bad enough critters to demand the use of a CRF... Seems you can kill one with a push feed... DF
