Your link don't work. Elmer died in 1984 long before most of today's premium wonder bullets. If he can be faulted it would from his lack of use with Nosler Partitions. His famous quote on minimums was 250 grains .338 dia at 2500 fps or more. No body offered premium bullets in loaded ammo way back then except Weatherby in Weatherby ammo . 98% of the public just bought what they could get where ammo was for sale. Criticisms based on 20/20 hindsight aren't worth repeating. ..mb

And yet we still use cup core bullets on elk, and even more frail ones. But everyone else could do it but Elmer, or only Elmer could do it right, depends on how much you cared about his opinion.
