95 gr ballistic tips have stacked them up in my family for many years. They’ve even put down the occasional bull...

I think the problem is all the Useless White Noise.

Might be better off listening to a 12 year old (like the one that oddly enough resembles me) in these photos with a P&Y elk he arrowed at 7ft and a large 6X6 he gunned with a rifle very similar to a .243.

LOL, I'm not "defending " anybody Mike, don't flatter yourself. Just calling a spade a spade.

Or in this case, a shovel.

Ok..........Werner got his elk tags yesterday.

Always wanted to do that hunt.

Maybe I too can be one of the 90% that takes 10% of the game.

Any expert tips for me?

Do you hunt elk with a 243?

Do you live in close proximity to a Soccer field and/or Golf course, by chance?

Since 1997.....we handed out hunt-input logs to all our paid hunters.......just to know things like.....how many different buck sightings per day, stuff like that.

There was a whole lot of glaring statistical data when it came to success and failure(or worse than simple failure). Kinda expert driven stuff.

We filled out forms too.....pertinent information for each hunt.

I'll try to quit doubling down on stupid, if I can quit laughing long enough.

Have you ever shot an elk with a 243, SLM?

More coming........promise.

Did you have others rifles......or were you financially, caliber distressed?

There is no shame in that. Would rather have you flip my burger than an illegal immigrant.

Wait a minute......an undocumented migrant.

Not sure how any of that relates to shooting elk with a .243, but it’s become pretty obvious you have a hard time staying on track. They have medication for such things.

Yes, as well as my kids, grandparents, friends kids and other acquaintances.

Had I no experience with it, I would have never posted early in the thread.

I need some medications.....loratadine......for this hay fever.

Is that the only caliber you had available? Would have happily sent a loaner in .260, .270, 280 for the youngsters. Am all about helping those not as privileged.

Will send an offer soon........for Buzz's nephew. I shoot southpaw, as do 2 of my 5 sons.

We have several options available. Am thinking a 280 LH would be good for a mini-bull hunt. Have a couple........non-factory offerings.

140 partitions and 154 bondeds (hint). They work, I have read, anyway.

More coming soon.......promise.

You know......Winchester factory ammo has pictures of the game animals (on box)...the ammo is supposed to be suited for.

Kind of like........pictures for idiots.

Really haven't seen a 243 offering for elk yet. Saw some nice deer and pronghorn, though.

TFF

LOL

Much more coming soon.

Some of us don’t need picture tutorials.

You should probably stick with the pictures though.
