Go for it- let us know how it turns out.... 
Yep, that'll work. I agree, let us know...
Laugh now. That elk armor is evolving fast. In 10 years, they'll have steel bones and Kevlar skin.

Based on what most people here in SC and in GA hunt deer with, the whitetail has already evolved into that. Gonna be hell when the elk catch up!
I've anchored a couple of semi loads of elk with a .243 never had any trouble finding them, YMMV Rio7
I doubt shooting elk in Texas is like hunting in the other states...

Put it in a nice Micky Edge and that'd be just the ticket.
At 50 pounds it may get heavy by the end of the day.

Seems like I remember a post in which you mentioned putting one down with a .22-250. The only reason it stuck with me was that I was wondering if it was the rifle that you bought from me.

It's only 44 extra pounds...
That's some serious stunt shooting right there.
Probably better suited for coyotes.
I'd love to get behind that thing!!.....Extra paddin for the shoulder though .....What fun.........

Ive shot two of them with a .223
Certainly not my first choice, but I wouldn't balk at a .243 ( Have killed elk with one of those too)

Yeah especially since we have a chronic shortage of elk here in Texas.
Do you think that thing will fit in a lead sled?

I guess the real question is how many elk could you anchor with the same round? 😂😇

Semi loads?
Mud hen that 22-250 I got from you, has killed elk, whitetail and impala, and more than a few pigs. but I don't own it any more I gave it a disabled vet,he really loves it. Rio7
WYO COYOTE HUNTER, I don't know how old you are, but I was killing elk in the Colorado, Wyoming, in the early 1950s I doubt you were born yet. Rio7
Dillon buck, YEH RIO7

Texas does have free range elk in West Texas,unlike Wyoming that has a lot of public land,it's all on large private ranches.I'd love to hunt this place,but I'm sure it's expensive and they have some really nice bulls too. http:/
Also a lot of elk on high fenced places in Texas.They are not considered as game animals in Texas and can be hunted anytime of the year.Living in Texas,it's cheaper for me to hunt elk in Texas than it would be to go out of state to kill one.
I would be concerned with penetration if you hit bone. Heart, lung should work.

Yah, that bullet looks pretty fragile for REAL elk.
