[QUOTE="bigdogone, post: 2223271, member: 116192"] There's lots of data on high success rates for nilgai using lower energy and smaller diameter bullets than your 300 WM. See 24hrcampfire for example. Although first rule of fight club is use enough gun. Second rule of fight club is always listen to your guide. Seems like a good excuse to add to your gun collection. My vote would be a 375 H&H. It will successfully take any mammal on land - literally. Elephant to duiker. At 500 yds the 250 grain still has over 1700 ft/lbs. Well over the bull elk threshold of 1500. Setting new gun considerations aside for a minute and regarding what really matters, consensus seems to be...drum roll please...shot placement and quality bonded-core or copper bullets. No surprise to folks on this forum. If your 300 Win Mag is your pet rifle and you don't want another rilfe, you should be fine with some good bullets. Barnes, A-frames and Trophy Bonded Bear claws are my personal faves. Hope you have a great hunt and enjoy your time in Tx! [/QUOTE]
