I never got to fire a shot at an Eland but my PH said "why didn't you bring a real gun" (I had my 338-06 loaded with 200 grain Accubonds) to which I said "what is a real gun" to which he said "a 375H&H,the last three Eland shot here are still out there somewhere".

A 30-06,7mm mag and a 338 Win mag were the rifles.
