I agree for sure, I dumped my biggest moose vere with a 303 jungle carbine shoting 215 grain bullets that were probably only doing about 2100 fps. at the most.
The 165 grain bullet will work fine, the 180 will work too with well constructed bullets.
Elk are a lot tougher than their wimpy cousin Bullwinkle.
