A change in tack for this topic.

Everyone has probably heard the stories of WDM (Karamojo) Bell and his shooting of numerous elephant with a .275 Rigby (7x57 mm) but he also reguarded his .256 (6.5x54 mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer) as his "buffalo" meat rifle. It was also used for elephant on occasion but he preferred the 7mm for this.

I actually found the desire to use the 6.5x54MS as historically "ironic" and interesting, considering Bell considered such a rifle a "buffalo rifle".

What do you think?
