OP original question was for bear which I cannot comment on.
However;
If you’re going for elk, I’d say use a rifle that you’re comfortable shooting and can carry the mail out to 400 yards. Granted my first ever elk last October was a cow, but we got on a small herd and could get no closer than where we shot from at 370 yards.

7mm08 with a 140 E-tip, one bullet through the lungs slightly quartering away. After the shot she walked about 30 yards, then tipped over and rolled down the ridge.

I have a feeling if I would have had a bull tag and shot the nice 6 point bull in that group, the result would have been the same.
