I’ve not killed any elk with the 225 AB but I’ve killed dozens of deer with it with my 358 wssm.
Muzzle velocity is 2400 and change and I’ve yet to recover a bullet.
Most are broadside shots but a few have been at a good angle.
I will say hitting shoulder bone is very destructive but anchors them quickly.
I imagine you are throwing them a bit quicker but also probably at longer distances where mv might be close to equal.
I’d not hesitate to use the bullet on elk one bit.
