Yikes! You must think highly of the 243. I think of 243's for elk like Americans drinking warm German beer. You gotta have a taste for it, and you gotta want it.
I've consumed a good bit of beer in a number of places in Germany, and it isn't served warm. The beer in Bavaria makes it clear how crappy American mass market beer is.
Back on topic, I'd rather whack an elk with the 7mm08.
