9-10 grains per pound(~450-500gr) would be a good start. You could go slightly lighter or much heavier. I think most anything above 450gr should be sufficient.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Keep in mind that with elk, penetration is very important and they are much bigger than deer. I went to two blade heads for that reason and they have been great. I've shot about (quit counting a long time ago)15 elk. Gary
