The bottom line is elk are not that hard to kill. Some guys want to make it alot more complicated than it really is. Heck, I wouldn't be too bothered nor hamstrung by having to use Sierra Game kings the rest of my hunting career.
That would depend on the Game King for me. I know that the .277/150 won't make it through a mule deer if the offside shoulder is hit. To me that rules them out as an "all around" elk bullet. That said, the Federal load will shoot .5" in my 700 mountain rifle, so I can't say I will never try them on elk.
The heavier ones might be stouter.
