    Taxidermy question: oiled vs not oiled horns?

    New rifle, One and only for Africa

    Hi Carter 123, I would not go under 30-06 or 300 Winmag. 180 or 200 grain bullets of premium brand, A-frame, Oryx or similar. Eland are big animals and Hartebeest are notoriously tough! Why nor a 375? Brgds, Marc
