To save yourself a lot of time and thinking ,just buy some 180 grain partitions. Can't ever go wrong with them
Saddlesore's recommendation is a good one. But like he said later, there are many good bullets that will work.
Elk are not near as hard to kill as many seem to think, as long as the bullet lands in the right place and does what it should.
I have mostly used premium bullets for elk, and they have always worked well. Primarily Nosler Partitions and Swift A-Frames. That is what I will use this fall too.
Many other serially successful elk hunters have used less than premium bullets with total success.
You don't have to use Nosler Partitions, but if you are asking for advice, it is hard to go wrong with the 180 grain Partition for elk.
