I am not convinced he actually ordered bullets to work up a “hotter” load with. And how does he prove that is is legal to a game warden?
Don't have to convince the game warden since most 300BO supersonic ammmo meets the requirement. Here is the order:

No, most do not meet the legal requirements. There are very few .300 BLK supersonic factory loads that meet the 1000 ft-lb requirement at 100 yards. Just spend some time doing some actual research and you'd know this.
How do I know? I hunt and shoot the .300 BLK in a RAR and AR-15. I only use it out of state where I don't have to meet ft-lbs requirements.

Looks like this park ranger thought the 300BO was a good choice for an elk population control hunt:

I really like the 180gn Barnes TSX in .30-06. I know it's a little heavy for deer, lol, but my ol' Valmet seems to shoot the heavier bullets better...

If you have to ask about a marginal cartridge, you probably already answered your own question.

I think he's got a few more weeks before the season ends.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Work up a ladder test for a 100 yard elk cartridge?
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle.
I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

How do you think that will work in the field?
The game warden looks online at the manufacturer’s data as required by the reg, sees less than 1,000 ft/lbs at 100.
What do you then say to convince a game warden he or she is wrong and to ignore the online data?
Please explain, truly curious.

Easy. I tell him/her that I’m shooting handloads, not factory ammo. They’re welcome to chrono them if they want. It won’t be difficult to get another 100+ FPS with handloads.
The most popular 110gr factory ammo (Hornady Black and Barnes Vor-Tx) meets the requirement anyway, so I don’t expect them to ask.

Wouldn’t be my first choice but it would work with a perfect shot snd perfect shot presentation inside of 100 yards. Not easy to comeby hunting Elk on public land. My preferred Elk rifle and load is 300 Win Mag loaded with 200 gr Partitions. My backup rifle is a 270 with 150 gr Partitions. Which I consider to be on the marfinsl side for Elk. If that tells you anything about what I think about using a 300 BLK for Elk.

How many elk have you killed with this combo to lead you to this conclusion?

Lol…..
I’ve killed around 30 elk with a 270 and 150g NPT’s, including a 750lb+ bull going directly away from me at ~300 yds.
