I'd shoot the Nosler Partition. I'd recommend a weight, but I don't use them in my 260 so I don't know what weights are available. If not the Partition, I'd go with the Accubond.

I can definitely tell you that a 100 grain bullet in my 260 does not drop a whitetail as well as a 120 grainer does, so if I was going for Elk I'd use something in the 120 to 140 range in the 6.5. I'd make the choice based on what velocity I could get, so if you can get the 140 stepping along pretty well I'd use that one.
