I also like to occasionally pull out the book "Elk Tactics" by Don Laubach, who probably qualifies as an old-timer himself. As I recall, he starts it off with a description of how, when he was a kid, his dad shot a big elk with an 87 grain bullet from a 250-3000 Savage 99 at around 200 yards and dropped him with one shot - and it wasn't a singular experience, it was typical of his dad's hunting at the time.
