Nonsense, if you place the bullet properly. Cow elk are no bigger than many caribou, and they all fell down.

So did the 1300lb moose my wife shot.

A badly placed .338WM bullet may be - may be - marginally more effective than a 100 gr. .243 bullet, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Either will get the job done if well placed at reasonable range. At "unreasonable range - :)" I'd go with the larger.

I've had and used a 243 for decades. It's worked well.

Never much cared for it tho. But that's personal, not objective.
