Always interesting to hear "pick the one which shoots best."

This implies two things:

First, that the hunter actually shoots enough groups to tell the difference. In my experience this is rare, especially with 3-shot groups.

Second, elk are big animals. Unless you plan to shoot beyond much beyond 400 yards, any load that puts three into 1-1/2" at 100 yards is more than accurate enough.
