S-3, where did you find a ranch that allows the 7mm Mag to hunt nilgai? I have only seen ranches with the .300 Win Mag minimum.

I watched a guy take a large bison here in Texas with a 6.5 CM. One shot and dropped. I would have lost a significant amount of money betting that was going to be a multi-round kill. Luckily the bison was facing him and he made a perfect heart shot right through the chest. He was not wearing a flat brim.

It is. Very lean. I made a bunch of jerky yesterday.

I have no doubt my 7mm Rem would put a Nilgai down but many ranches have this 300 Win minimum???

People believe 300's make up for bad shots. Shooting 300's is what makes people make bad shots!!

A 7Mag with 160 gr Barnes will kill anything on the planet.
