Think Nosler NBT's for the best of pretty much all worlds...
Dober
I killed two bull elk in Az with 7 mag loaded with 140g NBT, 66.0g of IMR 4350, 9 1/2 primer. Both happened to be running at the impact. Legs immediately quit working at the bullet strike, they hit the dirt and were DRT. One never kicked, the other kicked a hind leg 3 times. Broadside shots approx. 12" behind the front shoulder, dead center of the body, distance 150-200 yards. I shot numerous cow elk, then went to a 243 with 95g partitions on cows with no problems.
The bullet is the cheapest part of the hunt, but stuff ain't hard to kill...you just have to place your shot or do not pull the trigger.
