Elk are not that tough. My son dropped one running at 150 yards with Rem 130g Core Lokt factory ammo out of my 270 this winter. If you want to shoot a "non-premium" bullet both for practice and hunting in a 7mm Mag, my recommendation would be the 175g Rem Core Lokt Pointed Soft Point. It will do the job, period and you can buy them in bulk.
