Here in Alberta we have a minimum caliber of 6mm/.243 allowed on big game. And well I love my 243 & 6mm’s I wouldn’t necessarily use them for elk, unless it were under certain parameters. I have loaded for and help kids and one buddys wife take moose with 243win . Without incident in 3 cases, moose are softer animal it seems and we can usually close the distance to under 75-50 yrds most times without much trouble. For me I believe in using good bullets if going light caliber and does make up a bit for being under gunned.
