Those of us in Idaho who didn't know that a 243 (with appropriate bullets) was not an elk rifle have been killing elk with them for decades. Prior to the 243 a lot of the "old-time" guides used Savage 99's in 250/3000 but when the 243 came on the scene almost to a man they changed to it and went right on killing elk.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
