As some have said its not really a caliber thing more of a SHOT PLACEMENT thing. 7RM is capable of all NA game. Load or buy something with good bullets and see if they work for your rifle. The 7RM is more than good enough for Mr Blue... its all in shot placement....
Umm. From the sun?As advise take a good pair of eye glasses for protection ,
Planning a hunt for next year. Nilgai is on my bucket list. Have my new 7mag , M70 Supergrade. Undecided weather to just buy a box of factory loads or reload my own.
I like making my own but will not pound this rifle with a lot of Maximum loads.
This being said, what would be your bullet choice? hand loaded or factory? I'm looking at the

Nilgai are supposedly very thick skinned, hard to kill antelope. In fact the guides mostly require a magnum .30 caliber minimum to hunt. I guess they get tired of chaising *** shot animals all around the ranch
Nilgai are a tough animal the vitals are further forward then our native animals we have taken numerous when thinning herds on a couple ranches that dont allow commercial hunting a nosler accubond would be a good choice or one of the mono bullets we have taken them with everything from a 243 to 338 lapua but most were taken with a 6.5-06 improved shooting a 140gr. gameking find accuracy what ever bullet you choose as shots can be long if you are hunting a ranch were they are hunted alot Bob is correct about the 30 cal. some ranches require it or larger for some reason a bad shot from a 30 is no better than a bad shot from a 7mm so make a good shot and collect your animal
Here is the key! Shot placement. Whatever you are shooting spend enough time and ammo to be confident with where your bullet will land. Do some shooting up and down hill. Not every shot is on a measured range and flat ground. know your bullet ballistics and I guarantee it will add a lot of pleasure to your hunf.I’ve taken them with 338 Lapua shooting 300 GE Berger, 6.5 grendel, 6.5 creed. I think shot placement most important. Shoot what you shoot well and don’t look back. Just make sure you place the shot where you want
Just curious. Why not the 175 grain partition? They shot under a n inch in my Rem 700 and velocity was 2950fps.Planning a hunt for next year. Nilgai is on my bucket list. Have my new 7mag , M70 Supergrade. Undecided weather to just buy a box of factory loads or reload my own.

As large as they are, wounded Nilgai have an amazing ability to disappear in the Texas brush. I heard one guide say “it’s like they crawl in a hole and cover it up behind them“.Planning a hunt for next year. Nilgai is on my bucket list. Have my new 7mag , M70 Supergrade.
