Bell did indeed use the 6.5x54MS for killing Elephant and was very fond of it for such work.
He reports poor quality ammunition, which most likely turned him towards the 275 Rigby and 303, amongst others

I don't remember him being "fond" of the .256 for elephant at all? I do remember him thinking it very suitable and fond use of it for buffalo. Just my recollection. Have to read them all again.

And yes, he did write he jealously reserved his .275 Rigby for elephant.

Later he writes his .318 WR was his favourite elephant killer. Something most modern pundits don't know.
