Not sure which writer possibly Jack OConner said one of the ammo reps noticed brisk sales of the 220 grain load in Wisconsin. It turned out that there was a season where you could shoot carp with a rifle and the 220 worked the best to stun them.

Before the availability of so many great bullets African PH's would recommend the 220 grain load in the 06 and 300 H&H as an all around plains game choice up to and including Buffalo. Should still work today.
