Not a gun writer but, you’re talking about one of America’s favorite .30 bullets…for deer. If I was thinking about using them for Elk, I’d use your exact setup. In my opinion, you’re within the Goldilocks zone of performance (velocity vs impact range) for broadside-ish shots to just about 300 yards. I’d personally have total faith in these tough 150gr bullets, inside of 250-300 yards depending on angle. Your confidence in the bullet is important too. Remember many elk are killed with the wicked little 6mm rounds every year. You’ll be fine!
