Sticking to the two bullets you mentioned, I've used both and no question either will will work. I think if i were to do it again, i would choose the TTSX simply because of weight retention "insurance" and potentially an edge to penetration in a 150g hitting a big bone. If you were talking 165s then maybe the Partition...maybe?

Not long ago there was a thread about premium bullets; link attached. Worth reading parts of it as another source of opinions. I attached pictures of recovered bullets from elk.

Shot placement obviously matters but over the last 41 years of elk hunting, i have come to the conclusion that I really want a hole on both sides of the lungs. Elk can go a long way mortally wounded but rarely go far with collapsed lungs which is much easier to do with 2 holes.
