Either. Your preference.
I'd pack my Rem 725 .260. It is light, and proven on elk, caribou, wolf.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Either...I prefer the .30-06 but Ive seen both of them work!

I have been using my various 6.5's for decades on elk with no down side. The copper mono bullets are what I use. Complete penetration no matter if it's my 260 Rem, 6.5x55 , 6.5-06 or 264 mag. They all work. My 30-06 & my .338 mag have not been fired in years. They of course all work with the proper bullet properly placed. I just like the mild recoil & flat trajectory of the 6.5.

IMHO the 264 using 140's is big enough for elk. The only thing I would do differently at the 264 win mag velocities would be to use a stouter bullet for elk such as the ACCUBOND or similar.
