If I was elk hunting I would use a 30 cal like a 30–06 or 300 win mag or even the 7mm rem mag works well. But to answer your question yes it would kill an elk but you would be straining the capabilities of the round extensively. read more

A .260 is more than enough gun to kill an Elk at well beyond those ranges. I'm shooting the 6.5x55 with 120 GMX and wouldn't hesitate to take a shot at up to 600 yards. Maybe further. read more
