For strictly NA game, I'd go with either a 350gr. Hornady RN at about 1,800fps or a cast 400 to 450gr. at about the same speed. Benchmark or H4895 should deliver with about the lowest pressures.

The inclusion of Elk and moose, for me, eliminates any factory ammo - the 325gr. pointed Hornady being a bit soft for those - apparently - besides, I don't shoot factory ammo except for rimfire.
