Would be hard to beat a Woodleigh Weldcore, I use 140gr for SAMBAR, which is a tougher Animal than the Elk, will to live is hard to believe.
I use 140gr in my 7mm08 to keep a few FPS up my sleeve for flatter trajectory and 140gr holds up very well in close and out to 350m.
if I were woods hunting with this Calibre I would load 160gr and keep shots to under 200m.
longer , heavier projectiles really start to bite into the 7mm08 case capacity, especially with Match grade chambered Kimbers and alike.
if Woodleighs are unavailable, Accubond or as mentioned, Partitions are the Standard of which all else is measured.
