Maybe it wasn't Bell to whom I refer. I have Peter Hathaway Capstick's book Death in the Long Grass and I'll check.

I loved reading Capstick although I don't have any of his books. Probably the most readable author ever.
I could be wrong but it sticks in my mind that he liked the .375H&H.

An excerpt from
Cooper's Commentaries:
In re-reading Karamojo Bell, we note again his predilection for the 7x57 cartridge. He did a lot of elephants with the delightful little 1903 6.5 carbine from Mannlicher, but he preferred the 7 when he could get it.

It was Karamojo, you might have misremembered the caliber. All them numbers, so little time. :)
