Most of the elk I’ve shot have been with a bow and arrow. In the last few years, I’ve shot a handful of them with a rifle, but usually in November, and never more than 50 yards.
I have no doubt that the rifle/cartridge is capable of the job. Certainly, with the small elk that we tend to get. I just have those two choices of bullets at home and wondering if anyone saw an advantage to either.

Your elk hunting is far different than mine. Here we’re regulated to take only 6 point bulls and we really don’t hunt them over agricultural land. Shots may be from 15 to 600+yards and time is always limited. A bad shot may mean a lost animal because follow up shots are not usually possible. Given your short distances and field situation I would take the TTSX every time.
