CAR is still an active war zone. I used a .375 for LDE in Cameroon because savannah buffalo was also on license and I wanted something suitable for both( although LDE are as large as the buffalo, they don't try to kill you if a dense cover follow up is necessary). As it turned out, I got the buff and not the eland. As an aside, I used a .338WM to take an eland in RSA- the 230 gr Failsafe broke both shoulders and lodges under the offside skin. It's plenty of power, IMHO.....
