I have used a very similar cartridge for many years. I have used a 6.5 x 55 for everything between a Roe Buck to Derby Eland. No problems. It has great sectional density and therefore the ability to penetrate much better than many popular calibers.
I would love to try it on a Elephant. Unfortunately it is not legal anywhere in Africa for that purpose. But Bell had little problem with small calibers on Elephant so it is quite possible.
