i will agree that the frontal area of a bullet would make the most differance with solids. However this is my opinion based on the elk I've shot with various cartridges (270 Win, 30-06, 7WSM, 300 Ultramag and 338 winmag). I've also witnessed numerous elk shot with various cartridges In the class that the original post asks about.
Whichever cartridge he decides on he will be well armed in the bush for the quarry discussed.
Push comes to shove though and I will take the Larger caliber every time.
Pick either caliber in a gun that fits you and you won't go wrong.
