[QUOTE="Josh P, post: 1567985, member: 60236"] Having shot 100 plus animals in Africa is a 270wsm your recommendation for eland? I've have shot 8 animals in Africa and having shot one eland it would not be my recommendation. Hunting big heavy animals in open country is one thing its easier to see the angle of the animal for shot placement but when you find yourself in the brush it becomes more difficult. I would think that a person that is heading to Africa to hunt would want to get rig of the ifs. If you shoot them broadside in the shoulder they should die but what about when you shot opportunity isn't perfect or you need a follow up shot the angle isn't really up to you and you must take a shot no matter the angle. I believe that to travel to the otherside of the planet with a caliber of a rifle that may or may not be enough why not just bring or use one that you know will get the job done. I'm just of the mindset of removing all the ifs I have control over. [/QUOTE]
