don't be affraid to shoot elk with that load at all! I know a few guys that use the 2bit for elk and are very successful. you will need to be a bit more considerate of shot angles, prolly not the best load to shoot one in the doughnut with but any decent broadsideish shot is going to put him on the ground.....and quite aways out to boot.
