The 30-06 is more than enough fire power for 200 yd shots at elk and moose. If you have a buring desire to step up to something bigger I would start with a .300 WSM or .300 Win Mag and end at a .338 Win Mag. If you mostly hunt eastern whitetails like I do then that 06 is certainly a better use caliber.
