I am going to switch from the Federal Premium with the 165 gr Sierra Game King to the Winchester Expedition Big Game Long Range with the 168 Grain Nosler AccuBond LR.
I normally shoot arrows. I am no expert with guns.

There is a huge difference in the ways those two bullets will react when shot out of those two different rifles. I have never shot a Nilgai but I have shot a few big animals in Africa. when I am hunting Big tough animals I want big holes and as much possibility for and exit as possible. Yes shot placement is key to any kill but are you willing to pass on a shot just because the bull is not standing perfect broadside at 100 yards or do you want a proven BIG GAME cartridge that can cleanly take BIG GAME animal when you fudge a shot or the animal is in a not so desirable position. All the comments about taking them with any cartridge that will take a deer are correct (mostly), I for one am not willing to chance it. If you want to step up to the big leagues and hunt big animals use the correct cartridge/bullet combination and get after it.

Really great cartridge. I have one in the Alaskan and my wife has the guide gun model, we both shoot the 300GR North Fork SS bonded and they are DEADLY.

Just made a deal on a 300 win mag out of our classifieds here on TBH. Dang Nilgais don't stand a chance now.
