It would be one of my last choices. I shot the 139 grain SST's out of my .280 for years on blacktails and some hogs. Very accurate but explosive on entry with angle shots. I've switched to Barnes in that rifle for deer and am shooting up my remaining 140 and 160 grain TB Bear Claws for elk.
I've shot elk with Accubonds and Partitions but have not been happy so now I use the TBBC and 165 gr Barnes out of my 300 WSM and 300 WM.
The problems with elk is that you don't always get that perfect broadside shot,especially if they are in timber.
