Kimber Montana in 325 WSM topped with a Swarovski 3-10x42.   200gr Barnes Triple shocks in front of 65grs of AA 3100.  Its done the job on three elk in the last 5 years.

As far as the 243 having more energy then the 308 isnt really that accurate. 90% of the time the 308 has more energy. But both will do the trick on an elk if used correctly.

Run the numbers for a 165 gr Gameking (.404 bc) and a 105 gr Berger VLD hunter ( .532bc). The .243 AND .308 are even at 450 and the .243 takes over from there.
Might as well run the 110 grain round nose out of the 308 and the 115 Dtac out of the 243, that way you can catch the 308 RFN.


Actually the .243 DTAC would have  at least 5x the energy of a 110 round nose.

Shot placement is critical, I'm sure - but it should get the job done!

My  Model 700 .300 win mag! I have never hunted anything with it though :yike: always buy an elk tag, but hardly ever find the time to go hunt spikes :chuckle: Deer always seem to find me using a bow :) Love this rifle though...can touch bullets at 200 yards with it if I do my part! factory barrel and all :tup:

Or my newest addition the 1895G.....will be getting some upgrades soon, but Im already in love with it! Looking forward to dumping and elk or bear with it!

Looks a lot like my sendero. What mods have you done? I see the brake and cheek pad. Mine has a defensive edge brake and Wyatt box and is bedded. Just use a cheek rest that straps on. I'm shooting 215 bergers.
