mmmm.........I have a pair of 243's that so far have accounted for 14 elk. Mostly in the hands of youngsters--out to ~375 yds. One elk lived just long enough to be shot a second time, the rest were one shot and done.



100g Partiition--it's all in the bullet, cartridge doesn't matter much these days.


It was with factory 100gr winchester ammunition. Just did not act like it was hit at all, took about 5 minutes for final. But I certainly defer to your experience's, like I said, an example of one.
