The recommended minimum energy for elk is 1300 ft-lb. You can check on Remington's sight for their loads energy information. You can also look in a reloading manual for the info if you reload. Most loads in a 308 will get you around 400 yards (DOUBLE CHECK THIS). In other words, you are fine with this round. You just need to pick a quality boat tail bullet designed for hunting with a high Ballistic coefficient. The higher the BC the more energy the bullet will carry at longer distances.
