Default Is 50-60 suffecient?

I'm new here on the archery forum. Here is my question. I just bought the Diamond Black Ice with the 50-60lb limbs. Right now I'm shooting it at 58 pounds. Thats a real comfortable setting. I know that in a month or so I will be able to shoot it at the max setting which is 60. I have a 26inch draw. I can pull back 70 pounds but it kills me. Is this bow set at 60lb going to be enough power to kill elk up to 40 yards which is my limit I have set? Or should have I bought the 60-70lb limbs and work my way up there even though I would struggle for the first little while? I'm 40 years old so I'm not getting younger. I feel very comfortableand relaxed shooting this set-up but I wonder if it has enough juice to get the job done on those big elk. Any and all advice good or bad is welcome. Thanks.
