    Again, understand your quarry, put the bullets where they need to go, use the proper bullet construction, and, like Bell, you don't need a British Double in some Cordite cartridge to humanely take your quarry.

    Bell used good rifle skills and above-average stalking and quarry knowledge to humanely take Elephants which today, is very questionable.

    It is a bit like native Eskimo groups using everything from 22LR to shotguns to hunt seals and various land animals. Today, many people consider it unethical but, it is consistent with their culture and they definitely have the skills to do it. After all, natural selection and mother nature took care of the ones that couldn't.

    In my case, and that of a friend who was near distinguished marksman status before life intervened, have trouble cleanly killing feral hogs with a 5.56 MSR. I'm not nearly the marksman my friend is but, I don't have trouble with a 6.8SPC AR-15 cleanly taking feral hogs.
