I have used the 210 grain Nosler Partitian exclusively and it has always performed well. I would go with it or the 210 Barnes. I have always been of the Elmer Keith school where heavy bullets are a plus. I would also be concerned if you "max loads" were developed in cooler temps than you will experience in Africa.

Just my thinking.

Agree with the above---with eland I tend to go on the heavier bullet side..as to range--might be a bit futher but I have shot 3 and all under 75 yards...1 at above 30...calibers used were .416Rem. shooting 400 gr A-Frames and 300 Ultra mag with 200 gr A-Frames.
