The .308 and 7.62-39 do just fine on big elephants. Just ask the bands of roving poachers who are supplying the ChiComs with endless amounts of poached ivory.
They ain't using sxs Rigby's or Safari Rifles. AK's and FAL's... and They are just opening up with a hail of rounds and chopping the tusks. So the ChiComs can have ivory chop sticks and little knick knacks for their Beijinig shelves... Show of wealth and all.

Rowling is the British Musk... and she is doing awesome!
It's amazing how the left (made up mostly of spoiled little retards who grew up on Harry Potter delusions of being able to wave wands and everything appeared before you... while breaking all the rules and getting rewarded for it... because you are a mis-understood special child) are utterly ripping her to bits at every chance.
You go JK Rowling! Your books were a fantastic WW2 metaphor. And you get history like few others. Too bad so many of your coddled readers thought it was all about being a magical fruitbat.

PS. Read all the books as an adult. Apparently got something very different out of them. Well, Animal Farm reads differently after you have seen the USSR in action. So there ya go!
I read somewhere more elephants have been killed with the .303 than all other rounds combined……
100% correct. The 303 British has accounted for it’s fair share also.
20 and 30 round mag dumps will do that.
Then again, the poachers will also use home made smooth bore muzzle loaders, shooting sawed off sections of rebar as a bullet. I don't want to do that either.
From the article linked below:
"Walter Dalrymple Maitland Bell quietly went from being just another adventurer trying his hand at being a professional ivory hunter to becoming nothing short of a legend. In his years elephant hunting he bagged exactly 1,011 elephant, which led to him acquiring a quite significant cache of crisp British pound notes in his bank account: and as he was a thrifty Scotsman no doubt that was a most satisfactory outcome. But that was not what turned him into one of the most famous of all the ivory hunters. The thing that ensured his fame was the fact that he killed 800 of those elephant armed with a handy lightweight Rigby rifle chambered for the .275 Rigby, a caliber most of us know as the 7×57 Mauser."

W.D.M. Bell went from being just an adventurer trying his hand at being a professional ivory hunter to becoming a legend. 800 elephant taken with a small .275 Rigby Rifle.

My guess is a 'Beehive'.
From an old sawmill where they burn the bark and trimmings. The screen at the top reduces the larger embers from flying away.
Edited to note that I should have scrolled further before posting an answer that had already been given.....several times.
Got too excited with the ''Hey....I know this one!''But feel free to ask me anything else that has already been answered here.

It's rare to see Behives anymore out West these days. Environmental regs won't allow that much smoke polluting the air.
Anymore, lumber mills waste nothing. Bark goes to landscapers, chips go to papermills, "scrap" wood is chipped and goes to paper mills.
Pretty much all mills run computerized optimizers for chipping and sawing. They are very efficient. Most of the mills that didn't are long since out of business.

Not forgetting that he also used a 6.5 Mannlicher as well as a 303 British. (So y’all you Creedmoor haters, just how many Bull Elephants has your precious .308 killed? Keeping in mind that the Mannlicher is well below the 6.5 Creedmoor in powerFrom the article linked below:

. ).However, before any intrepid nimrods head out to the plains of Africa in search of Bull Elephant with 6.5 or 308, please keep in mind, Bell used long solids so prevalent at the turn of the 20th century, AND, he was a Superb marksman when under pressure.
I thought the same thing at first, but them realized if might have been better than missing it.
Seems to be a whole lot a nothing beyond the fence.
He might have ended up in the hospital in rooms 1006, 1007, 1008 and 1009.... ;-)

The term 'Wig Wam' is probably cultural appropriation nowadays.
The local one was only decommissioned a decade (?) ago. But most of the waste now gets trucked away to ? as its too much for the mill to use as hog fuel. As green as they can be at this point.

Thanks to our son's wanting to trace down ancestors my wife and I agreed to have DNA tests done. I discovered well over half of mine came from the Scots. Whoop-tee-doo. There is actually a clan with my surname although they must have been small beans when picking tartan colors as it's ugly as dirt. The Scots can't even make decent whiskey and don't know how to spell it. I had a few Irishmen sneak into my DNA wood pile and at least they can spell whiskey and do a pretty good job of making it. I'll hide in the house rather than go forth in a man dress. I can go back to my great grandparents and that is really all I want to know of my ancestors.
when did this start?
grocery biz for 35 yrs, when I left in 2015 the produce (and meat case if there was a fresh unwrapped meat case) had misters, that were nothing but filtered water from the same water that we used for everything,
no additives, nothing but tap water ran thru a few filters just like tap water running into your fridge dispensor,
for my next funeral,i am scheduled to be recycled in the FL middle grounds or bahia honda. but,could reschedule to south caicos or little cayman.
Holy shit… it’s mine too. No shit.
Just had a great dinner with the fam. Hope yours was good as well
I’m going to hell for laughing but so are y’all! 
I grew up knowing them as Teepee Burners. There are good examples at Adin and Willow Creek, CA (SR-299 and US-395).
An interesting aside, the Paul Bunyan tales were written in Westwood, CA by a transplanted Minnesotan Logger. Some of the Timber Beasts (loggers) I grew up around still sounded like they came from Minnesota. I miss them and wish that I had recordings of their ramblings. The things you don’t appreciate in your teens and twenties and you’d give your eye teeth for now.
Raise a pint to them
, they live on in you!Howard Hill killed one with a longbow. Not a compound or recurve, but a longbow. That really is next level.Saw a hunting video once, guy killed one with a crossbow!
I never finished the 1st book, guess I'd seen the movie too many times. But I read all the others, still have them all in hard cover.
Hell, I was at the store for the midnight release of the 7th book. Had to go to Portland for 3 days on business the next day. Finished it before I came home.
And yes, JK Rowling is a bad ass!
Have you seen the videos of the nuts who use paint ball guns? I understand the challenge, but NOPE!Saw a hunting video once, guy killed one with a crossbow!
The Nikon or it’s no longer breathing for me.
I have always been a book over movie person, endnote if the book was written from the screen play.I never finished the 1st book, guess I'd seen the movie too many times. But I read all the others, still have them all in hard cover.

Now I have to re read these, after I finish my Tom Clancy set (ending with Debt of Honor).
I have that set too, but not all hard cover. Red Storm Rising was the 1st I read. Just re-read it during deer season last fall.
Working on Clear and Present Danger again currently.
Fuck be upon Alec Baldwin, but Red October is the best of the movies, and it's not even close.
Shut your whore mouth. Harrison ford is the only Jack Ryan. Add in Defoe as Mr. Clark, and Jones as Greer and I could barely watch the other movies. Even that wormy little shit Ritter was cast well.
DaFoe as Clark was really bad casting. Made it worse when he was running around in the movie with the shorty AR with no sights on it…
Some might not make it past their teens ........
