I would have zero reserves on using the .300H&H on Eland, and if legal on Lion. My personal experience shows that Lions are easier to put down than Eland. With the correct bullet for the cause, you could even stretch it to Giraffe, where a projectile such as a Barnes TSX or TTSX is used.
The .300H&H is a great caliber and will get the job done on any plains game hunt, and some.
Take Care,

Agreed fully, the 220 gr partitions land 3" above the front sight at 100 yards on my pre-64 300 H&H, they land 3"s up at 200 yards too, looking through the old Lyman receiver peep will let you run the front sight up into the animal a bit, then with a 2.5 lb trigger caress, the bullets accurately on it's way, barring legalities, I don't know what couldn't be taken with this combo.
