338 rum with NOSLER accubonds will be my choice. I am sure hornady makes a quality product and that s great and all, but I will be sticking with nosler.
I have 2 a bolts a Christensen Mesa and browning bar. They all have 24” tubes. Bolts shoot 180’s and 185’s at 3k. Bar shoots 200’s @2850 . I would lop 2” off and not worry about it.

Yes mr. Miner I am , unfortunately the state of Washington decided not to grant me a permit to harvest any bull elk in my favorite areas. So hunting spikes will another elk season for us. Luckily I have 2 trail cameras in a really good canyon that has produced 18 different spike bulls this year...
Nilgai would be an awesome hunt, been snooping around for a adventure. The father in law took one in Texas , used a 338 win mag. The bull soaked up 2 really well placed rounds.
