If Barnes could/would make a monometal TSX .25 bullet of a length to function in our slow twist Savage barrels it would negate that premise, I believe. I'm a Luddite in many ways but even I can understand the tremendous advances in modern bullet technology that have pretty much evaporated the wisdom of our fathers in such regards. A TSX out of a .223 will smash through both shoulders of a deer and cause mayhem in between (and I'm not advocating for .22's for elk mind you), so why wouldn't a larger one do the same in an elk?
