I had an MRI a couple of weeks ago. It seems my rotator cuff and bicep tendon in my right shoulder are torn. I had surgery on the shoulder 7 years ago and my orthopedic surgeon has referred me to a specialist whom I will see in 2 weeks. At 74 I do not know how many years I have left in me for quality hunting. I did manage to get a cow Rosy elk last year with my 300 WSM so I still have meat in the freezer. I have broken out the 243 and 270 Sako's and 7/08 Styer to practice with just in case I get drawn for elk next year. It is good to know the 243 will work on elk. It just might become my go to rifle for the limited time I have left to chase elk.
