Grow up and play with the big boys....

I can tell you from experience that after a certain amount of growing up those bruises start taking longer and longer to heal.

300 win mag

From the posts I've read in the past, a .600 Nitro Express for the first stage, then the .458 Lott takes over............

I'm partial to the 35 Whelen with a 225 grain nosler partion

I'll say 338 win mag just because I want one for the heck of it. Honestly a hot rod 6.5 and up will be plenty but I know some outfitters put a minimum on Nilgai hunts. Lots of that is poor shots from people not understanding the vitals. A 270wsm would be right in there perfect if there were no mandated minimums IMO.

.338 rum

300 Win mag is boring so I say 7mm mag, 28 Nos or 338 win mag

Why not be a big man, grow a pair, get some hair on your chest, and use a .50 cal?
A 7mm-08 will take any of those animals easily out to 300 or better... and be fun to shoot so you can practice without beating the crap out of yourself.
28 Nosler is a hot 7mm if you like big mags and doesn't kick too bad with a long barrel and a radial brake.
There's a reason the used rifle section at Cabela's is packed with big mags with less than a box through them.

The best??? The best at what?

Hate to pop your bubble but there isn't any best.

You can chamber a rifle in 35 different calibers and each one would work just fine if you put the bullet in the vitals.

You might want to choose some parameters and go from there instead of making a blanket choice of "best".

28 Nosler.
