700LH, you make some very good points. And no one can argue with results. Also, no one said that core-lokts aren't good bullets, or that 150 grain bullets won't kill elk just fine, or that you should use a different bullet.
Here's how I look at it though. If someone asked me which is best for 300+ yard shots at elk, a .308 or a .30-06, I'd say the 06. That is not to say that the .308 won't work, that's an entirely different question. And in my mind anyway, the 180 grain bullet at 2,700 gets closest to what an 06 delivers.
