[QUOTE="Trogon, post: 2341367, member: 119016"] In April of this year I was able to hunt South Africa on a package hunt for a variety of antelope (from smallest to largest-Springbuck, Mountain Reedbuck, Impala, Warthog, Blesbuck, Nyala, Black Wildebeest, Cape Kudu). Camp rifles were Sako or Howa rifles in .300 Winchester Magnum, handloaded 200 grain ELD-X rounds. I had pass-thru's on nearly every animal that was shot broadside (wildebeest and a Blesbuck were shot head-on), most shots were over 200 yards. Average distance for shots on game was probably over 300 yards. The Kudu was the long one at 470 yards and found mostly jacket minus lead behind the offside shoulder under the hide (my shot went through the lower shoulder bone, through the heart). I think this bullet was the choice to cover a wide range of game that could be encountered. [/QUOTE]
