I'd go even lighter down to a 150 grain bullet for elk out of the 06, be it a Barnes TTSX or Nosler Partitions. Accubond and other bonded core bullets I'd use at least 165 grain bullets. I'd use any standard cup and core bullet in 180 grains on any elk without hesitation out of an 06. If you hit them right elk aren't terribly difficult to kill, hit them in the wrong place and they can go for miles very quickly.
