The comparision from OP uses a bare strength weapon to compare damage from an elemental weapon, they're not quite the same. It's my understanding that the shot is charged from only the user's stamina, not strength. Even so, the elemental damage multiplier from Ice is what's instakilling the Elder Ogre, as it's weak to ice.

My supposition is that the damage calculation is:

((Stamina% + (range modifier) + Weakspot on hit) (elemental damage  +/- weakness/resistance of enemy to said element)) = Full damage
