Yeah, Dave has changed his tune after more decades of experience. When I first met him, in the 1980s, he was firmly convinced (due too reading much Elmer Keith) that anything less than a 250-grain .338 bullet was inadequate for elk.
Also know that he once shot a big bull elk several times with a .340 Weatherby with, if I recall correctly, 250-grain Nosler Partitions before it succumbed.
But such is life.
