When was that photo taken?
Let us know how the 06 & your bullet choice performed when you return.
Exactly how far through the Eland would anyone want to shoot?
@Velo Dog It is your safaris,money,time and experience and by all means stacking the odds with a bigger bullet has never been wrong. The question was simply if the 06 was adequate to use on Eland, it is in my opinion and experience.
I hunt Bushpig and Wild boar with a 375H&H at night,I have killed many with a 308,but I preffer to use the 375H&H for many reasons. It does not make the 308 unable to kill them,just my preference and experience that the 375H&H has a few advantages in my scenarios when hunting pigs.
It all comes down to were the bullet goes and if you are using a premium bullet like the NF. You preffer a exit wound,I want the bullet to stop just under the skin on the opposite side. There is always going to be a few diffrent views on this,happy that there is otherwise we would all be using the same caliber and rifle and that is just not interesting
All the best.
