Re: Ivory-Elephants and Bell

Joe Coogan may have been around the block a few times, but every article about the 7mm has to drag out Bell's exploits, like it was some sort of benchmark about the wonders of the 7x57.

The fact that Bell, by his own admission, had to repeatedly finish off wounded elephants with a bigger rifle seems to get overlooked.

And having Daddy stand by with the big gun while the daughter whacks a bull with a 7mm Mauser has little relevance, in my opinion.

Coogan shoots a sable with his original .275 Rigby. Big whoop! Not exactly elephant size.
