[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 303686, member: 2112"] John Burns, I am in Evanston, Where are you at? Anyways, Maybe you didnt quite get what I was saying with the .243. I agree it is a good gun and can be used on elk. My Dad's best friend did it for years. Like you said on your example, "with a well placed shot". I would have no problem hunting with a .243 myself but just feel that you have a better chance of the critter still dieing with a somewhat off target shot with a larger, more potent round. At the least maybe cause more damage giving a better opportunity for a follow up shot. I dont care how much a kid shoots at the range, in the field is a whole different story and the chance of a "not so good" shot goes up drastically. I was there and did that more than once unfortunately (but never lost an animal) I know that noone likes to hear the scenario above but lets be real here on LRH. [/QUOTE]
