I'm thinking the fast twist Lyman with some heavy lead.
Why? Because its a fine rifle and a 535 No Excuse will be very accurate and very deadly.
You won't need to track anything and it's respectful to the game.

OK then I would go with the #4 Renegade after elk and shoot what ever I wanted from it - conicals or sabots...
Probably would use a Lehigh .458-305 gr. (45-70 bullet) in a HPH-Orange sabot...
1900 fps. with 1220 lbs energy @ 200 yards...
I could live with that...

I also don't see the Missouri River Hawken fast twist. Again testing with the paper patched bullet.
For your question. I would pick #4 to shoot my Paper Patched bullets at elk.
I have a couple #7 but they are 1-30 not 1-28. I use them for deer and antelope. I would LOVE to have the chance to shoot an elk with my 409 gr paper patched 45 bullets.

I don't see it but I would like to try a Lyman GPH fast twist. I would like to test my paper patched bullets in it.

Going out on a limb, I would pick the T/C with the sharpshooter 1-24 twist barrel. I have heard they are exceptional conical shooters, so it would be good for deer or elk. Also I like the overall idea of the rifle.

I kinda figured that might be the favorite pick due to the 1:24 twist . I personally like big heavy conicals yet it would be great with some Barnes 290gr tmz's also
