I quite disagree with most of the replies. Go with a 243, and if you put it in the right place any african animal will Go down... Do not mess with african animals, T hey are not comparabile with european or north american ones. Penetration is the key. So, stay on 500 grs of total arrow weight, with a 2 blade bh. Fmj arrows are definitely the way to go, but use 340, or even Better 300. My setup: Pse Dna 69# at 29; Fmj 300, Hunor Africa on heavyest game or Neo up to Eland, wt. 125. Total arrow weight 520 grs, 278.5 fps, over 90 E and almost 0.6 Mom. Last week, total pass through an Eland on a quarte ring away shot, arrow 16 mt. From the animal, dead in 50 mt. With Neos. And a1,5 bh does a LOT of difference. With this setup, you Go out 15 cm. On a broadside shot of a mature dagga boy, usi g Africa bh. Leave 350-400 arrows at home, trust me.
