Given the amount he shoots the rifle, by the time you bought the dies, powder, primers and bullets, you could buy several boxes of factory ammo. If 15 rounds in 30 years is typical, handloading is a total waste of time and money.
Weatherby offers factory loads with the Nosler Partition and the Barnes X bullet. Either would do nicely for elk. Bite the bullet and pay for 1 or 2 boxes of that, and he'll be set for elk for the rest of his life.
