About LinkBacksI am pretty sure the heart shot comes out of Africa, different situation and suits the style of hunting there, less hilly and normally hunting with highly skilled specialist trackers to follow the blood spoor that is still there because winter is dry and it doesn't get washed away, it is not unheard of to go back to a blood spoor after 3 or 4 days when trying to find a wounded animal.
I agree it is not a great shot for NZ conditions.
Don't want to get into this argument as I am firmly against using .22 centre fires on anything bigger than fallow.
All I will say is that Bell shot over a thousand elephants with a 7x57, yes he was an expert at shot placement and picking his shots, but I still wouldn't advocate it as a great elephant calibre.
