Elk aren't anything special and I've killed them with it. Along with moose, eland, pronghorn, oryx, hartebeast, deer, and more. They don't have to go fast either. The eland and other Africans were shot with a load that did not make 1200 fps. The others only a little bit faster. I have a handful of .45s because they work really, really well.
