If a 150 gr. c&c with a 308 or 06, bullet will do the job what makes anyone think a 140 gr. bullet (especially in premium) in 6.5 won't? The only elk I have taken was at about 150 yards with a .260, using 140 gr. Corelokt. DRT. Bang flop. Went down so fast I didn't see it go down - and there ain't a lot of recoil there!
The .264WM will do fine.
I was looking for one for long range caribou hunting in 1974 who I came on a fancy grained RU77V in .25-06........Kicking myself yet for selling that thing off a few years later. Didn't think it was "enough gun" for moose, but I've gotten less stupid since..... allegedly.
