I've killed a number of elk with 30-06, 300 H&H, 338 WinMag and even a 7-08 (won't do that again - it worked, but I think an animal that big needs a bigger cartridge/bullet. That's how I justify having too many rifles...).
I just got a 35 Whelen as the newest Nearly Perfect Elk Rifle.
Your new 35 Whelen, with the right bullets, should be a hammer, but it's not going to be any more impressive than a good ol 06 with 200gr Nosler partitions...
