In a 1954 postumous article in American Rifleman ("Big bores vs Small bores") Bell wrote that he used nothing but a .220 for deer stalking.

He had a known fondness for using the 6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer on elephant.

He ended up not liking it. Bell said the bullets would bend and hence not penetrate deep and true. He put it down to the bullet being to long and the nose decelerating to quick for the base so the base would try and catch the front. If the jacket was thicker this would not happen.
