In the past, I have loaded and used on elk 180 and 200 Accubonds and 180 Scirocco II. I would now be tempted to try the new Federal Terminal Ascent bullet as BC and construction look real good to me. If BC for long range is not a sticking point, the Hammer Hunter would be the first choice. I used a HH in my 6.5 WSM this year and was impressed with accuracy, ease of reloading and terminal results on a cow elk.
