[QUOTE="wackinandstackin243, post: 793165, member: 59412"] For the record I never said I have seen elk drop in their tracks with a 243. But I have seen a few shot in the vitals that really didnt cover any ground after the shot and went down quickly without any tracking. I personally use a 338 or 7mm mag for elk most of the time. I even consider the 7mm to be light duty for elk but when I have a deer and elk liscence for the same season, deer take priority. Colorado used to require deer and elk to be hunted the same season for rifle hunters. I did not have very good luck with nosler partitions for elk. It seemed like they didnt expand enough and didnt do much internal damage. Like I said in my earlier post is I believe in shooting the biggest rifle you can shoot accurately for elk. [/QUOTE]
