I think the evolution of a lot of equipment I. E. 4 wheelers, electric saws all’s, tires, gps, rangefinders, clothing etc etc plus the expansion of elk herds into farmland had a little more do due with caliber selection ; as compared to bullet construction improvements.
Talking to real old timers about hunting the mountains of Idaho is really interesting.
