[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1567731, member: 30902"] That's way too much velocity for the small deer and antelope. You'd be better off with something like a .22 Hornet for them with a good heavy jacketed soft point. They'll pop like a balloon if you overdo it. A whole lot of them though are shot succesfully and without too much damage with a .375 H&H using solids. Either the Hammers or A Frame will work for you on the Eland but honestly I'd want something much bigger. I would probably not attempt to take an Eland with anything less than a .30 cal and the .375 Ruger would definitely be my primary "go to" on anything that large and tough. [/QUOTE]
