Having hunted a wide variety of African Game(including Eland) with this calibre using 180Gr bullets, it has always performed exceptionally well. Not too fast, not too slow, it is consistently more than capable of killing game out to 300 Yards. I will always be a loyal fan of this fine calibre that has stood the test of time.
