Nilgai Cow

[DosAmigos]

Let the youngster shoot a Nilgai cow with the 6 creed (Unknown Munitions 105 Berger Hybrid). We first ranged her at about 450ish yards and cut the distance to about 175 yards she was slightly 1/4’ing away. Lil Bill settled it and took the shot she ran less than 15 yards before pilling up.

Impossible! All the outfitters in Texas demand .30 cal magnum with 200 grain bullets launched at 3000 fps as minimum for these armored up antelope

Congrats to your son!

I’ve yet to draw one of these tags…

We have killed a bunch of big bulls with 6.5 PRC W/156 Berger's. Bigger isn't always better

The first time I went I tried to convince the outfitter to let me use my 7-08AI. He said no and I ended up using my 300WM. I got mine on the first day and carried the 7-08AI for the rest of the trip for targets of opportunity (pigs mostly) while my buddies were trying to kill theirs.
After I made a 423 yard pig kill and then put down a gut shot cow at 358 yards, he conceded that I could probably kill a bull with it.
Unfortunately, he still wouldn't let me use it the next year either.

There is a weird thing in Texas about the 300 Winchester these days, it used to be the 338 Winchester that was called the Texas Magnum. A lot of Texas outfitters are convinced that nilgai weigh 850 pounds and take a 460 Weatherby.

Know meat hunters using 223s for headshots off a tractor, son shot a cow in the head at 20 yds with a 7-08 spot and stalk, shot mine with a 308 at 300+ yds with a 150gr sst, one shot and down. The usual guided nilgai hunt is to drive around in a hunting truck or buggy and shoot from the truck at 300+ yds, some do ground hunt with spot and stalk.
