Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa 300 Win Mag for Eland?

I used a 7mm Rem Mag loaded with 150gr. Nosler E-Tips at 3000 fps. It was a 208 yard shot off the sticks and my shot impacted dead smack in the center of the big shoulder bone, shattering it, breaking through a rib before going into the chest. That knocked the Eland down but didn't put him out so he hid in the brush with barely his horns showing. The bullet just didn't penetrate to the heart even through it was the right trajectory.

The bull eventually got back up and a second round (High shoulder, opposite side) finished the job.

Neither bullet exited.
