Barnes designed that bullet for the guys who insist on using 224" centerfires on deer. Neither Randy nor Coni Brooks recommend such guns for deer, but they got so many questions about a suitable bullet that they designed that one. Purely business.
Stretching what might be a marginal bullet on deer to animals the size of elk? I won't type my real thoughts.
In the 260, which is perfectly adequate for both deer and elk, I recommend a Barnes bullet without reservation.
