[QUOTE="grit, post: 608823, member: 4112"] Speaking of elepahants and small bullet penetration, "Karamojo Bell", a famous elephant hunter reportedly killed some 1000+ elephants. He killed 80% or so with the 275 Rigby (7x57 mauser), and the balance with a mix of the .256, 303, and 318. He preferred the brain shot, but took heart shots when required. Critical factors were solid bullets and precise shot placement. [/QUOTE]
