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.
A friend killed a bull with 1 shot from a 30-30 contender pistol
