I like what you chose and like oiled walnut even better!
I have never shot an elk, nor any game animal with a handgun for that matter, but my assumption is 290gr @ 1k ought to penetrate like the dickens. That said, I tend more to 'over gunned' than under so I'd probably choose something else. I mean, .45-70 is the bare minimum for red squirrels here.
You do realize we are expecting pictures, don't you?
