Amen brother!!!
Go the 120 gr TTSX or 140 gr Accubond or Partition route and you have solved all your problems regardless if the target is deer or elk. No reason to over complicate things.
That's where I'm going to end up. Possibly a 145 LRX, but it's SUPER long. Just trying to do my research up front on this.
I'm putting this project together for my brother in law (including setting him up with the gun), so I'm trying to get my ducks in a line so I don't waste any of the tight budget. Either way, I think I'll be money ahead just working up a premium load one time. 140 AB keeps tugging at me.
