I've used on game up to cow nilgai, which are about the size of cow elk, and considered maybe even a little tougher to kill. Shot one quartering toward me almost directly a couple years ago, at somewhere around 150 yards, if I recall correctly. Put the bullet inside the left shoulder and it exited the right rear ribs. The cow made a couple of crow-hops sideways and fell over dead, maybe 10 feet from where it was standing when the bullet hit. Not much meat damage, either--pretty typical of any sort of 286 in the 9.3x62.
