I did a lot of business in the early 90’s with a guy from Falfurrias. He owns several thousand acres in Brooks county that’s been in his family for generations, and has Nilgai. I killed a couple back then using the same cartridge and bullet combo as stxhunter. It worked fine. At the time a 270 was the only rifle I had. I’ve read about Nilgai hunting on a number of websites and as a rule Nilgai are represented as bulletproof and .300 WinMag is the absolute bare minimum that should be used. It’s nice to see more reasonable suggestions here on the fire.


Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
