Ryan, you should hung onto that .375 Hurt and Holler, that would have been perfect, plenty of power and legs, likely a bit heavy thought.
I’ve seen both Samber and Elk (wapiti) take multiple hits, and still keep going when in full rut or alarmed, sumtimes they just have a toughness, and a will to survive, A Samber. Stag that took 3 rounds, in the chest with a .270 win 150 gr, left a lasting impression. An Elk bull the same, but first shot want a bit far back.
I prefer heavy for Cal, at moderate speed, and to break both shoulders.
And good luck, hope you have an enjoyable trip.
