Default Elk hunting question

Hey guys. I am going on my first elk trip and would like to get some thought about bullets and loads. I live in California and get to hunt deer and pig mainly. I have been using a 150 grain Winchester supreme E tip for the last couple of years due to non lead restrictions here. This bullet has worked very well for me dropping a deer from about two hundred dead in its tracks and recently a 350 plus boar. The boar I shot on the run quartering away at 90 yards. Bullet blew out back shoulder penetrated lungs and left a perfect mushroom in the front shoulder. This round seems to shoot well out of my 30-06 but I am wondering if those who hunt elk regularly think it will be sufficient for elk especially if a 300 to 400 yard shot is required.

Thanks for the help.

Josh
