I wouldn't recommend using the 41 on elk unless you were shooting something like the 265gr Cast Performance and shoot to break it down.
I know for a fact several elk and 2 black bears killed corn bread dead with the 175gr. Silver Tip from a 4" revolver.
It is shot placement and being upto the task at hand.
The 175 would not my choice but it just goes to prove that the critters don't read the ballistic tables...
