I have hunted elk for 28-years, my go-to elk rifle is my 340-Weatherby.
Good luck hunting, WK |

For an elk gun I would say 300 win mag or 300 WSM are all around winners. Most other popular mid sized calibers are more than adequate. .340 Wby. Mag. Good luck. |
I use the same recipe as Gamblinman
The 7mm RM will get him on the ground - I bring the .338 WM when I know there is bear to contend with. |
It's all about shot placement, not about caliber. Choose which gun you like, Use a good quality bullet and have fun. I've shot many elk that dropped with one shot from a 120g 25-06, I watched a bull take five 180g 30-06 bullets. Recent years I've been using a 270WSM shooting 140g TSX. And they have worked great.
