Szhin, i wouldnt hesitate to use a 243 with a good bullet on any elk, but i would limit my shot choices as MD previously stated.
I would think a better choice would be a bigger cal and heavier bullet due to, as you say, any bullet that can break through bone and get the job done.
Do you not think a bigger, heavier GOOD bullet cant do that better?
What would do better on a big bull quartering away go7ng over a ridge at 350 yards where the, dare we say, perfect hit is not made and the hit is in a hindquarter and needs to get through the abdomen and into the chest cavity?
I will agree, a 22 or 9 mm is just as deadly as a 45, if you hit a man between the eyes. In WW2 Im glad my uncle had a 45.
