Caliber question

I will be hunting elk for the first time this year and intend to do it with my Contender pistol...maybe. Do you think that either a .35 Rem. or a 7-30 Waters is big enough. I have those two barrels or do I need something bigger? Thanks..

.35 Rem is plenty big. You'd better hit the range pretty hard in prep. for an Elk hunt a pistol. .35 Rem will be more than enough at short distances but still has some reach out and touch em power.
