Test fire a rental gun before heading to the field and you would be fine.No way would I invest time, money, etc. and bet it all on some unknown rental gun... Just not going to happen, unless my gun ended up in the wrong place and it was a true emergency i.e. shipping or customs issues. Course I wouldn't be faced with that driving in.
I am definitely not going to buy a 300WM just for it... although might look at bigger thumpers if forced to.. (i.e. 375HH)
Blow off the nilgai & go shoot yourself an eland.
Im only interested in meat, not trophies. Never had Eland, so I cannot compare taste..
If you're going big get a 338 LM. They're stupid easy to load for and once fired brass is surprising cheap for a large Magnum. I pay about $1.50 per shot for my match ammo once everything is added up.No way would I invest time, money, etc. and bet it all on some unknown rental gun...

Ah yes, the mystical 300 BLK, capable of turning mall ninjas into Navy seals with just the swap of a barrel.I'm surprised no one mentioned a .300Blk. From everything I've read, it will kill any animal on this planet.
Yes, but only with a direct hit to the exhaust port.I'm surprised no one mentioned a .300Blk. From everything I've read, it will kill any animal on this planet.
