Wonderful stories.

Not sure I believe 14 .220 Swift hits on a hyena who still needed a finishing shot. Bell used the .220 Swift on deer but he favored neck shots and he did say the cartridge lacked penetration for other shots. I’m sure Ruark was using the early 48 gr factory loads. There are better bullets available today but I don’t know that any of them would turn the Swift into an hyena killer.

I can attest to the effectiveness of neck shots on American mule deer. Definitely a very humane shot as it is instant lights out.
