There isn't an animal in North America that requires anything more brutal than a .30-06 and frankly not even that.
I read in a real old magazine one time an article and the old codger was explaining that you want to make sure to have enough gun...that you wanted to be sure to shoot something that would have at least 250 Ft Lbs of energy at the animal...better get that 460 if you wanna shoot Elk, lol.

My son took an Elk with a 308/180 with one shot. Well placed mind you, but the Elk didn't go but 50 yards and then gave it up.
