Yes. Bell nailed elephants with some rather small calibers, and if memory is correct, he might have gone down to 0.25 in a couple instances. He, however, spent a couple days dissecting his first to learn the animal's makeup. Before cartridges, folks poured dozens of 4-bore cap and ball rounds into elephants, and probably half of them waltzed away.
