The 243 is the preferred elk caliber on the Blackfoot reservation. No concerns on the rez for wounding critters.....

I like ballistic tips. They do well on deer and pigs. The animals I’ve shot with them have never complained one bit. I like Gamekings.

Oh, that would be you, bitch. Jimmy has been drinking cheap whiskey all day again in his single wide. Oh you poor little stalker. Got an elk pic for us? I’d settle for a clam shot.

Last bull I got, I was using a Ballistic Tip too. It failed as well... Bull went 20 yards before he toppled over. Oh yeah, that Ballistic Tip was a 95gr out of a .243 Winchester. I am not an Elk hunter, but I have a stupid question. What would be the maximum range you would feel confident shooting at a bull with a .243 Winchester? Just curious. Never thought about it much. Never felt under-gunned either. Guess as long as I felt good about putting the shot through the boiler room, I'd take it. 300 yards or so. Killed bigger stuff with less gun.

I shot this elk with a 300 Weatherby and 180 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. I was really fortunate to actually kill something with so little going for it, but I do like a challenge… Damned nice eating bull there Shrapnel. I will see your 180 ballistic tip, and raise you a 162 gr Hornady btsp from a 7 STW. If the gods had not stepped in and simply killed that bull for me, he would have never died just from that bullet through the aortic arch.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Just curious. 300 yards for me, situation right and stay off the big bones. Been done. Lungs are lungs. Animals don’t go far with those punched thru. Not my first choice in caliber however. Osky Thank You for that info. Most guys that I know from PA that go out west for elk, always take a magnum of 7mm or larger.

If traveling a good distance, spending good $$ and on limited time it is probably best to take more power than needed.
