Powerbelt .348's for me. Have only shot a couple of deer and no elk. Excellent accuracy with 2 pyrodex pellets. Can't imagine any problem with this weight bullet or heavier. I had one go through a hip bone, and exit out the opposite rib cage leaving a rib broken poking out from a 90 yard shot. I believe that would work on an elk.
The other guys I hunt with like 250gr cheap shots and do just fine on deer.
