I'm from back east ( Virginia) and live out west ( Oregon)...

I have to think its funny that people who don't live in elk country think a 243 is adequate for taking down an elk.

Yet people who actually live in Elk Country, many think a 243 is just fine for elk, and do so on a regular basis...

There are a few guys I know who have chimed in, in favor of the 243...

and i can tell ya, if those guys say it, its been because they have done it.. and more than once..

and I know you can take that to the bank, with no doubts...
