Nilgai is great eating.
Keep us posted on your hunt.
Some outfitters want you to use heavy ordinance. I don't think there's a Nilgai walking that wouldn't get whacked out by an '06 or such with suitable bullet.
Placement, of course, is important and they do tend to run.

I hope you are right....Ive only killed one nilgai, and that was with a .30-06..absolutely DRT with a heart shot.
Im taking my .275 Rigby this time...Nilgai are about the size of an elk, and I wouldn't hesitate to shoot an elk with it, and indeed have done just that a few times....
Texans are often under the impression their game has Kevlar skin, but I've yet to experience that.
That round with the right bullet will do the trick. I know that. You know that.
But, depending on your outfitter,....
Not saying those Texicans are a hard headed bunch....
Had a Nilgai outfitter carrying a .340 Wby, thinking anything less wasn't adequate. I'm sure that's just a select sample of Texicans, no reflection on the good ones I know....
What bullet are you considering?
