With proper shot placement, good bullet selection, and resonable range (within 200 yards) will a .30-06 take elk? What about moose, brown bear, grizzly bear, etc?

In modern "Lite Magnum" and "Hi Energy" loads, I've seen published velocity figures for 3,000 fps for a 180 grain Nosler Partition Jacket bullet. I've not put any of those loads over the chronograph, but I will tell you that a 180 grain Nosler PJ will flatten anything on this continent, if you do your part.
I never got a full understanding of why Elmer Keith had such a low opinion of the round.
