If you asked me what would be a REALLY bad setup for elk, I would suggest the .243 with the 95 grain SST.
Yet I have seen a big cow elk killed with one, so I guess it can be done. Shot placement and all that.
Still wouldn't recommend it
I'd pick a tougher bullet, like the 180 gr Interbond, 165 Interbond, TSX, Accubond, Partition....
