Tejano,
That is false. If you read more of Keith's observations, he mentions many factory bullet failures and wounded game of various calibers. I've been reading lots of both O'connor and Keith lately.

I read a lot of old stuff when it's 30 below. Always, the gopher bullet minimalist guys have the most exciting stories of wounded bears charging and flailing about, requiring multiple shots and close calls.

Elmers stories with his 338 okh are most satisfyingly boring: bang flop.
