You have two rifles available. One is a 6.5 running a 140 gr. bullet.
The other is a .35 Whelen using a 250 gr bullet of exactly the same construction as the 6.5
Pick your winner.

6.5 through the lungs every time.
I took a bull moose at over 500yds with a 140gr bullet out of a 280rem and it never made it 10ft. One shot-dead.
