I can see you're not thinking this thing through...this is the perfect opportunity to buy yourself another caliber...


But seriously, speaking only for myself...if I had the choice from several calibers I've slowly accumulated over the years ( .40/.45/.50/.54/.58/.62 ) and was planning a trip like yours for Elk, not knowing what distances I might be faced with...without hesitation I'd first reach for the .58cal, .62cal next.
Serious "whompability" at distance with a flatter trajectory than a big heavy conical....just my .02 cents
