Well the main issue you are going to face is finding an elk to shoot, that and getting one out once on the ground. As for Blue Box Federal that gives you 1 inch or so groups off the bench vs 2 inches with the Nosler Partition loads, dose not mean much since your rifle is minute of elk well pass ranges most would be comfortable shooting at. Get off the bench and put out targets at ranges from in real close to has far as you can go were you live. Go for that 1 shot, where you actually hit vs where you aim at. If you can keep that one bullet with in a grapefruit size area, then you are doing really good marksmanship wise and I would be thinking more about what I need to do to take care of the venison so I would have the very best table fare I can get.
