CTW, it's not surprising with correct bullets. DMW Bell killed around 1000 elephants with his 7X57.
I killed 3 bull elk with my 7X57. All 3 were one shot kills and all 3 had exits. 175 grain Hornady RN, chest shot. 175 grain Nosler Partition, chest shot and 160 grain Nosler partition, neck shot. I let a family member beat me out of it, but I probably should have kept it. THAT was a very cool rifle.
