Having shot 100 plus animals in Africa is a 270wsm your recommendation for eland?
Josh P, You've obviously strayed outside of your lane. I have simply expressed my personal opinion about his inquiry, based on my experience. I never recommended anything to anyone that that hadn't already decided on.
The op stated this: "Going to Africa this fall and will be taking my 270WSM. Going to be shooting animals from small deer sized to a 1500 pound Eland. I want to use 150 grain bullets. Thinking of the Swift A frame or the Hammer. Anyone have any recommendations?"
Simple reading and comprehension reveals that the gentlemen has already decided his cartridge and is only asking about his potential choice of bullet.
If you hunt a few more years and shoot about 100 more critters in Africa, your experience just might equal mine, but you'll need to add in a few big bull giraffe (taken with a 30.06 and a crossbow) several blue & black wildebeest (easily known to be tougher than the larger eland) track and harvest the incredible Cape Buffalo bull (in the company of 2 male lions), sit 14 hour nights in a Leopard blind on a 23 day leg of a 37 day multiple country hunt, spend a week hunting honey badger, bush pig, hyena and other predators at night... I worked and safaried there for years in multiple countries and I could go on but I believe my experience and accomplishments justify my opinion.
By the way, I shot my eland off the sticks inside 100 yards with a perfectly placed shot using a 180 grain Norma Oryx with the 30.06 and he was very quickly as dead as they can get, but not knowing your stalking patience nor shooting prowess, I recommend you use as much gun as you can handle, and I wish you happy hunting.
