You'll get a ton of opinions on what calibers are 'right' for various animals. If you watch any of Randy Newberg's youtube shows, you'll see he takes many elk with a .308 or 7-08 at the ranges you describe. Seems to largely be a personal preference. I've been using a 7mm Rem Mag for about six years now on deer, but am considering moving down to the 308 or 7-08 as I think these calibers make it easier to practice more often (vs my 7 RM). Just my opinion...
