One of the things about Bell that I've always found appealing, to me anyway, was his use of multiple calibers. Although most people want to connect him and the 7X57, and perhaps rightfully so, he used other cartridges with pretty good results also. Maybe not all on elephant, but his shooting wasn't just limited to hunting ivory, as he had quite a crew of hungry mouths to feed. The 303, 256, 318, 275 Rigby, as well as a few more that he mentioned, were all used by him. But, he referred to the 275, and the German ammo, as the one who never let him down. He was one man I'd loved to have talked with.
