Of course it's not about me. Except when you post lately GM.

Who else were you thinking of that used a 30-30 all their life on elk, and made a post saying a .243 is a poor choice? Which it is.

All you read about a .243 is the success it had. How many elk were wounded, and lost to a .243? If everybody kept the shots to 200yds with a .243 it wouldn't be bad. That's not the case though. Too many think it's a 400yd caliber. It is........for deer.

btw..I never recommend a 30-30 for elk unless they take close shots. Kind of like a PRB.
