The 130 gr is to light for ELK! It makes a devastating deer round, but for Elk you need a 150 gr. projectile for penetration of the bigger beast!
You should have 1500 to 2000 ft. pounds of energy for Elk,with a 150 gr bullet at 2950 fps you will be in good shape to about 250 yds.,and dont forget about shot placement.
