Hogwash. Never shot an Eland with mine but it dropped a Bull Moose in its tracks at 375 yards |

| How about a 160 Accubond @ 3200FPS? Nosler max hand loads.

| 7mm is a fine caliber and the 7mm Weatherby is a fine cartridge. In reality, it can't do any more or any less than the 7mm Rem Mag.... and that's a proven, fine, dependable cartridge. I've killed many head of big game with a 280, 280AI and 7mm Rem mag. DRT ...and hell yes it will kill eland size game! Zeke |

| I don't own any 7mm's, not a fan, but, my 270 Weatherby punches well above it's weight with 150gr and 160gr bullets. I can't see the 7mm Weatherby being any different. I used my 270 Weatherby on plains game 6 years ago in Namibia, got zebra and blue wildebeast with 150gr Partitions, took loads with the 160gr Partition, never used them. I think it's a good choice. Cheers.  |
