I recently returned from my hunting safari with Africa Maximum Safaris in South Africa. For this hunt, I chose the sable package and added on eland, kudu, blesbok, and red hartebeest. I took my CVA Cascade 7 PRC with the 175gr Barnes TSX. I had one shot kills on everything except for the blesbok. He was at 290 yards and fell on the first shot. However, we had to give him a follow-up shot because he tried to get up when we approached him with the vehicle. Plus, I don't want to see an animal suffer and die slowly. The first shot was a touch high. Everything else was one-shot kills. My load is 73.3 grains of N570, COL 3.215", ADG brass, and GM215M primers. It runs 3050 fps. I'm extremely impressed with this rifle and bullet combo.
Here is a short video of the shot on the eland.
