200+ yds? 243?........Everyone knows a 243 won`t kill elk at any range!

Congrat`s to the little lady! Looks like a great end to a great hunt!

Did you load the shell? Little more info on the load data please. If I ever draw for a SD elk tag, I'm planning on buying a 30-06 or 270. Haven't decided which yet. Maybe I'll try it with the .243. Its the largest rifle I own.
