Tikka elk build

Would a 6.5 creedmore and a lower weight bullet do the same thing as a 243 fast twist or 6 creedmore? (Lower recoil and raise velocity etc). 6.5 creedmore barrel last longer and ammo readily available

It would still work, but it might not do the same thing. The light, larger diameter bullet might not have as good a BC as some of the heavy for caliber .243 options. But I would be very comfortable using a 130-grain TMK, 140-grain ELDM, etc. on an elk.
