[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1567718, member: 7999"] One of the girls in our last team Hammer trip to South Africa took an 1800 lb trophy eland with our 257 wby using a 116g Sledge Hammer. It went about 40y after the 1st shot frontal. Second shot was not needed as the bull was tipping over. That shot broke the 4" dia front leg bone, passed through the front of the chest and lodged in the of side brisket. The 1st shot was recovered in the small intestine after traveling through 5' of eland. Both recovered bullets looked identical. Assuming you have a 1-10" twist the heaviest Hammer that will properly stabilize will be the 145g Sledge Hammer. Shoot it with confidence and enjoy your SA trip! [/QUOTE]
