Welcome Aboard JJH. Over the years i have taken 2 Elk with a 6MM REM with 100gr Partitions. One thing i can attest to is when you are at the moment of truth you need patience to wait for the perfect shot and shot placement is key with any bullet. Elk are very tough animals, Deer are not nearly...
The 140 AB will do just fine for you if you do your part from behind the rifle......I wouldn't even hesitate with that bullet. If it is grouping good on paper, just go out and Get'er'Done...Likely a Bang Flop deal....
