Both will work but the 06 will give you a bit more range and little more punch. Given the option and assuming I could shoot both relatively equally I'd take the 06.

PS - The 270 has been the center of some HUGE debates in the past about use on elk. I choose to no longer aruge on the subject but if the original poster has a question I would have no problems discussing it.
