Which caliber is suitable for which animal must be determined by skill level. Nothing else.
Are you capable of the skill at shot placement regardless of target orientation? Meaning can you place the bullet in the correct position to hit the vitals on the animal from any presentation (animal walking/running toward you, away from you, quartering away, quartering toward, side, lying down, up hill, down hill, etc.)?
If not you have two good choices and one common choice.
Good #1 - Only shoot at animals within your ability (range and aspect) to kill cleanly . This take self discipline.
Good #2 - Practice until you can place the shot where you want at any presentation. This takes an enormous amount of proper practice.
Bad #3 - Blast away (pray and spray) and hope for the best.
All of the cartridges you have mentioned are more than capable of killing elk with the proper bullet and placement.
