Didn't the GREAT Elmer Keith - who killed a mule deer at 400 yards with a short barreled .44 mag revolver, say that bullets from a .270 would bounce off an elk?

If you are going to disparage one of the greatest legends of the hunting-shooting- gun writing world, like the late Elmer Keith (while claiming to be a "writer" yourself), you ought to at least try to get one part of your comment correct
That "
Short Barreled" .44 mag revolver was a 6.5" Model 29, and you are off by 200 yards, it was 600 yards, not 400.
