How many Mammoths do you get assigned? My average task is around 30 of them, I hardly ever get assigned 40+, and yes, that takes around 2.5 overload doses - They have hardly any defence compared to Airuts so you can deal insane DPS.
When I do decide I am bored enough to do them, I get assigned like...35 (though I never really do them for the reasons I described regarding Airut and Kal'Gerions)

I don't gain combat xp, I was comparing Slayer vs Slayer, since, if you are Slaying, you are probably going for Slayer xp. Is that not a fair assumption? If not, disregard my points
Well, now I see why you'd call Mammoths great. But, those with 200m all combat is very thin to be honest, so it's not really *that* applicable of an argument. Kal'Gerions are considered "bad" (a better word would be inefficient) because they offer too much slayer exp:combat exp. Mammoths actually give MORE Slayer EXP than cb EXP, which would make them considerably more inefficient than Kal'Gerions.
Even then, one has to consider that in terms of input, Kal'Gerions and Airut don't really require much in terms of gear/inventory setup.

Mammoths are good xp and good gp
I mean, if you compare them to Gargoyles and Dank Beasts sure, but they miserably lose to Nihil, Runes, etc etc etc (not making that list again) at least in terms of GP, and I said in terms of EXP, they face very stiff competition from easier and lower level monsters that don't require much in terms of input.
And my main point Mammoths (and Rippers for that matter) is that for them being "elite" and "high level", they're highly underwhelming when you compare them to things like I mentioned on all three sides of the spectrum (Profit, Experience, and Input Required to receive the former).
