Question Elk Rifle Advice

Finally have an elk hunt lined up.

My question is - is a 300 Win. Mag. enough gun? I have a semi-custom Rem 700 that is drop dead accurate with 200 gr. Partitions. Zeiss VMV, 4x12-50m mm scope. I have used it only on mule deer, and only twice.

I also have a 308 Win. Styer Mountain that is my number one choice for all of my white tail and hog hunting. It too is extremely accurate with my hand loaded 165 gr. Gamekings or Partitions. Swarovski Hibacht , 3-10x50 mm.

Just not sure which to take.

If I need something heavier hitting, I can do that. Just looking for advice from you that have hunted elk.
