What state are you elk hunting in? That will help to narrow down a load knowing what you can and can not use. I agree Powerbelts probably aren't the best bullet...that being said I've killed elk with them and two of the biggest bulls I've had the privilege to be on the hunt for fell to a Powerbelt. Both bulls were over 350". So they will do the job if your gun loves them & you can't find another bullet it likes.
Washington... Open ignition
Were I you... I would suggest you consider a Lehigh .458x305 grain bullet, either a MMP 458x50 Orange sabot or a MMP HPH-24 sabot, they fit my Knights better since the .458 is a true 45-70 rifle bullet, with 110 grains of T7-3f since you have to use caps. I would also suggest the RWS Dynamit Nobel 1075+ cap or the CCI #11
Mag cap. Then if you get a good nipple that the cap fits tight on it will also make it water proof. The Knight nipple is to skinny and the cap can often fall off.
These bullets offer great Terminal Ballistics.
The AMCO Nipple is no longer available from Track of the Wolf but they now offer a stainless steel version that uses the same nipple stack measurements. The are very good nipples for plunger gun.
