[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2395906, member: 109070"] My opinion between the two choices would be the 243. Now In my experience guiding and seeing alot of elk get shot with all different calibers, for youth and even adults I am always amazed at how well the 243 does. Now I'm not saying go shoot elk past 400 yards with it but my word does it flat hammer them. I truly believe that bullet just goes in side the chest cavity and plays ping pong. I'm a firm believer In 30 cal, and 33 cal for most big game hunting. Honestly I think you will have much better luck with the 243 in the long run over the 300 black out. I'd rather have a 30 06 over the black out, but if your shooting close they will all work. Don't doubt a 243 it is unreal the damage they do. Plus you have a all around gun from varmints to deer, and even elk at a reasonable distance. Low recoil affordable to reload, one of my favorite little bullets. [/QUOTE]
