Ditto to what most have stated. the 30-30 is Not a good elk choice. .270 is a min. and anything over .300 mag is over kill (more recoil), use 2000 ft lb as a guide at point of impact for elk/ 1000 for deer. Also, very important, buy a quality bullet. Barnes X/XLC and Win. Fail Safe are two good choices. To lessen recoil, a muzzle brake might be the way to go.
