...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.

I agree that the Bell angle gets over played when discussing the 7x57. I just thought it was interesting that Gail Selby took her first elephant with one of Bell's rifles that Ruark had given to Mark Selby. Some real historical connections there. And heck, Gail was only 14 at the time so I can understand her using a smaller caliber rifle for that hunt.
