A Classic from Elmer Keith

I was curious about the .243 Winchester when I had the humble means to acquire a new gun. Almost sensing what he would say, I sought Elmer's validation and wrote to him about the .243's effectiveness on deer. His response was epic. Not much more needs to be said except that spell check was not born back then and the man had no problem being direct. Enjoy.
