I killed my only elk with a 300 Weatherby, and hunted with several other magnums - 300 Winchester, 358 Norma. The last time I used a plain-Jane 30-06. If there is a next time, that's what I will use.
Back in 1989 I met an old hunter who was carrying a Savage 99 chambered in 300 Savage with an old fixed 3x Weaver scope on top. I guess he figured it would be enough. He didn't ask what I was using.
