Will it work? Yes. Is it a good round for it? Nope. For what it is worth, I've seen 2 elk shot with a .243 and both ended up on the game pole with a single round. Both were shot by men who lived in elk country, had shot a lot of elk and were willing to pass on questionable shots and wait for a broadside shot at an elk standing still.
