Geez, you mean this isn't the latest news?
Would also like to hear the results of the hundreds of elk taken with the .375/06 and various others cartridges that prove, once and for all, that Elmer was right.
Don't you know that Elmer bashing is fashionable around here? Mostly by those whose total experience on shooting and hunting wouldn't add up to a decent year for old Elmer.
I do think that modern bullet technology has changed the equation a bit but one could do a lot worse than follow Elmer's advice on cartridge selection. Put a heavy for caliber bullet in the chest cavity and you have a dead critter.
It's definitely old news that the more you open up the mouth on a given case, the more efficiently you will launch the projectile in terms of fpe. You gotta love efficient cartridges!
