I think it is more of a modern mindset. One now has to have a .318 cal for Eland and the .404J or .416 is juuuuust enough for jumbo. I've seen it many threads here that many advise the .458WM is the minimum they would hunt with.
Each to their own but I think sometimes it's just bigger for bigger sakes. I'll call BS to anyone who thinks the 30.06 is too light for Eland and that the .404J is about the smallest one should go for jumbo.
The humble .22 short CAN kill an elephant one does not require a .700NE or belt fed mortar!
