Not mine but sounds like a good deal.

I loaded up some 180 grainers in 30.06 for a friend who killed a Nilgai with them.

So I came across a good deal on a ruger hawkeye ftw in 7 rem mag. So now I need to find some good bullets to shoot out of the 1-9.5 twist.

150 Gr Nosler E tip
160 gr Swift A Frame

I would if i wasn't worried about the distance. should defiantly take them down

Best not to leave anything to chance. Just convince the wife you need a 460 weatherby magnum. Rule#1 better to have and not need than need and not have

Always thought a 416 would be awesome on them. One trip down one of the King Ranch guides said a guy came down every year and hunted with one. The said it was a smackdown.

My 300 win mag was great for nilgai! 180 grain sat

30-06 worked great for each and knocked it down first shot. Shoot right up the shoulder. Shot was 215 yards on Norias at King Ranch and on top of a sand dune shooting down into an oak Mott. I use 165 grain Barnes triple shock since it's the most accurate for me. Definitely not the most knock down power in a bullet but works for me.

I also had the lightest gun in our group.

since I have one in the safe, I would pull out my 338 win mag, load it with 225 grain nosler partitions and go to town. But that is Just me. I am sure anything 7MM and above would work, and anything .30 cal and above would work better.

That's an excellent idea. If I ever get a chance I might go with the Rigby. I just remembered I have a couple of them in the safe
