Roy took a 285 yard quartering away shot on this Eland with a 375 H&H. The 275gr Shock Hammer entered behind the last rib and was recovered opposite side between the neck and shoulder. Congratulations Roy.

Looks like it shed its petals as designed.
Nice looking bullet. The problem is, the expanded rounded mushroom bleeding velocity fast does less permanent wounding than a flat front running at high velocity. The broken off petals help to shred and expand the terminal path as well. Funny stuff. Seems counter-intuitive at first. Nice bull you got there, too!

"Where is the best place to shoot an eland?"
As with a moose, "Right beside a pickup truck."
Great trophy. I hope the meat tastes as good as American antelope.

I've never seen a Hammer bullet with a shank like that. It looks more like one of the discontinued "Groove" bullets.
Eland is probably #2 on my list behind Buffalo, if I ever go.
Impressive bull and bullet/performance there.
