I use short track cartridges on all big game. No more .30-06 or magnums. Can't practice with them.
Why? Are you delicate? I've spent a lot of time at the rage practicing with things up to 375 H&H and 458 Win Mag. And hydroshock never killed anything. Damage to vital organs does and if you think a .243 is better than a bigger caliber on game like elk and moose then I'm betting you haven't shot many of either.
