I would love to stay there. If I ever get to Scotland I will make a pilgrimmage

WDM Bell was a small bore high-velocity shooter through and through - he was a realist about the .220 swift though, and was aware of what could go wrong with bullet blow up on large game. He was not a proponent of a "shock" theory.

Apart from using the .22 Savage Hipower on red deer, he took a .22 Hipower to Africa (He owned a .22 Hipower on a Mauser action by Rigby, and also a Savage, but I dont know if the Savage was a lever action model 99 or one of their bolt actions)
He wrote about shooting 27 cape buffalo (for meat and hides) with the .22 hipower in one mob, using 30 shots. From memory he shot them all through the lungs. I cant recall if this was in one of his articles or a letter.

I have both articles from AMerican Rifleman 1950 "The Neck Shot" and also 1954 "Small Bores Big Bores". I can email them to anyone who wants a copy.
