Having taken a fair number of elk with bullets ranging from 160 grain .280s up to 260 grain .375s, I would recommend that you go with the 210. I have started using these in my .338-06 and will be using them in one of the two rifles that I take to elk camp this year.

I have no doubt that the 160s would kill an elk--but so will a lot of other bullet/cartridge combinations that I would regard as less than ideal for circumstances in which the only shot you may get are also less than ideal. Just practice sufficiently to know where your bullet will land at various ranges...
