Of course there are elk shot with a .243 that weren’t recovered.

Just like there are elk that were shot and not recovered with a .338, /06, .270 etc. Your point?

On the video and other opinions who have used it on elk with success, great. Would love to see video (fat chance) and opinions whereby it wasn’t particularly effective or successful in one or two shots or even recovery of elk. I know those scenarios are out there, but I won’t my breath waiting for any disclosure.
