Seals are the most commonly hunted game, shot in the head at ice breathing holes hence the 222 being carried. My guess is that Muskox and bears cop it in the head too.

he was a big fan of the 7x57 but liked that the 303 had a ten shot mag

I read way back that he would shoot the first elephant then climb up on top to get a bit of height to continue shooting the rest of the heard

absolutly horrid as I love elephants but man what an absolute legend and awesome adventure (and who give a flying fudd what I think about elephants)
