.44 Super Redhawk 7.5": Can It Hunt Elk?

With extra heavy loads, is a .44 bullet shot from a Super Redhawk 7.5" barrel enough to hunt elk effectively? I know rifles are better, but for a handgun is a Super Redhawk with that barrel and caliber sufficient to hunt elk with some reasonable success if I shoot straight enough and accurately enough?

Hey Kirk... are you thinking of handloading or working with just factory stuff? You get lots of options with both.
