I am hunting Eland this September. I am using a Tenpoint Stealth NXT shooting a 500 gr arrow at 385 FPS. The KE of this setup is approx. 165 ft lbs at zero yds and 155 ft lbs at 30 yds.
My choice of broadhead is a Slick Trick Crossbow 150 gr.
What have you used?
 
450 grain arrow # 63 Bowtech Assasin at 270 fps and Magnus Stinger 4 blade. Complete penetration at 20 yards.

Terrific! I guess my setup will be OK.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
