How do you "check" when a thread is started ?

Look in the orange bar above the first post. Each post has the same orange bar with the date and time indicated on the left side.

Doubtfull as the OP has passed away...

Elk have been killed with a .50 caliber patched round ball and 80grs of black powder...A .243 with a properly constructed would certainly have more power than that....Not saying I would, just saying it could...
