Then, there's the thread here on the Fire, advocating that the 7-08 with 150 NPT is all that's needed for elk. And, there are plenty of dead critter photos as evidence.

I've never killed an elk with a 7-08/150 NPT or a .375 H&H, although I have both. I CAN tell you what a 180 NPT out of a 300 mag will do... Like put meat in the freezer...

Probably more than one way to skin a cat.... Or kill an elk...
