In reply to Mickey's post about Bells not being the greatest elephant hunter because he has not shot as many elephants or spent as long hunting elephants as others, i beg to differ. I think the reason that Bell was such a great hunter is because he was so raw, he didn't rely on huge muzzle energy, or massive expansion, he relied purely on his skill and knowledge of the elephant anatomy. I don't know of any other hunters who took elephants down with .22 cal bullets, even his favourite, the .275H&H is still a tiny cal compared to what most hunters use these days...
