My wife killed a cow this year at 249 yards with a 120ttsx in a load less than 3000fps. Clipped the rear portion of shoulder and took out both lungs. (Slight quartering towards) Elk ran about 50ft. That is 3 cows for three years with that same gun. Lots of good bullet suggestions that will handle an elk. Pick one that shoots and practice, I wouldn't second guess the bullet if it is exceptionally accurate.
