[QUOTE="bgouin, post: 1568004, member: 5625"] I have taken two large, mature Eland with larger calibers and my wife took a young bull with a 375 H&H. Check with your PH before bringing in a light rifle for Eland. Both of mine weighed close to a ton and did not go down easily. Yes they will go down with a well placed shot, but you don't always get a perfect opportunity. adrenaline is also a big factor when you are looking at a big bull Eland. Most PHs prefer large bore paired with a tough bullet at a moderate velocity. You should get your first shot at 100 yards or less. [/QUOTE]
