Default Accubonds for Elk?

Well, I've done some of my own research on ballistics and energy and thought I had settled on the perfect bullet for my 7mm Rem Mag for elk hunting this fall. 160gr Accubonds by Nosler.

I was reading this months issue of the AmericanHunter and they had several articles on elk including one on bullet choice and they recommended the Nosler Partition over the Accubond. The Accubond retains energy much better than the Partition on the charts I've looked at and I thought that would be important for elk.

Anyone else feel that the Accubond is a poor bullet choice for elk? I can always use the Accubonds for deer hunting if I need to switch.

Thanks, Nathan
