The .277 cal. 150 B-Tip is a decent bullet and if you put it between the shoulder and the diaphragm no elk will live to tell the tale. The B-Tips of the 90s maybe not so much, but the hunting B-tips now-a-days have been improved and perform nicely.

in certain situations a Barnes or another monometal would be best for elk, but not always!

There is and old handload recipie for the 270 win with a 150gr Nosler partition and imr4831 that is supposed to be serious elk medicine that the old timers used. So I'd try the Partition, I would not use a ballistic tip on elk. Use a good controlled expansion bullet.
Accubonds are great for elk. I would never hunt any large animals with a Ballistic Tip after having one disintegrate on the biggest whitetail I've ever shot at. Taken 17 bulls with Accubonds and only had to shoot one twice.
