My good friend Gerhardo Steenekamp, owner of Elansbosch Safaris in the Limpopo, has sent me this picture of a 43 3/8 Eland.

It was shot by a spanish hunter, using a 9.3x62, and should rank in the top five.

That's a nice eland! Brian
 
That is a big animal. Wonder what a big eland like that weights on the hoof?
 
That is a very nice eland. I hope I can get one in 2014.
 
Thanks for posting this.

This guy still had some room to grow if you can fathom that.
He still had brown shoulders (at least from this picture)

Congrats to the successful hunter.
 
what a whopper....:cool:
 
What an incredible eland! Congrats to the very fortunate hunter.
 
excellent trophy of an incredibly wary and alert animal , congrats to the team that made that possible for him ....

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
