In the past I have killed a couple of bulls and a five or so cows with the 284 Win XP.
A cow and a bull have fallen to a 14" MOA Maximum in 260 Rem.
Several elk tags have been filled with the 7.82 Patriot in a XP, and a 7mm Dakota XP-100.
My biggest elk rig, that I am still doing some load development on is a center-grip XP, chambered in the 338AX (338 Lapua Mag. Improved)
For elk I prefer the 7mm's or jump to a 338.
