    Nilgai and Fusion Ammo?

    . I think you would be fine with a 7mm Mag. From what I've read, some recommend a "magnum rifle", some recommend a "300 mag or larger". These are recommendations. I don't think any outfitter would say that you couldn't use a 7 Mag. From what I've read, the 7 Mag with the right bullet would be...

    Nilgai and Fusion Ammo?

    Actually, I'm more in the research phase. I've been researching hunts on the internet. I had a buddy that hunted at the King Ranch about 12 years ago. He used a 300 mag with 200 gr TBBC with no problems. King Ranch is $750 a day plus a $1,000 trophy fee. Most others have a $250-350 daily fee...

    Nilgai and Fusion Ammo?

    I'm considering a Nilgai hunt in South Texas. Most outfitters recommend or require a magnum rifle with premium controlled expansion bullet like a TSX, NP, A-frame, etc... I want to use my Hawkeye 338 Federal with 200 gr Fusion Ammo. I know the caliber is ideal but will the Fusion bullet hold...
