.308 or 30-06

No friends?
No pictures...
Your ego is really that fragile? Your self-worth is that low?
Why are you telling lies? You know you're not supposed to?
Stop thinking you're really something, because you aren't. Not even close.
If you have anything else to say, send me a PM and save the rest of these folks from your silly drivel.

They'll both be good with the slight edge for killing going to 30-06 but if you're worried about that you should be looking at magnums.
My question would be, Is this the only rifle in this caliber you are planning on buying?
I used to have a 22-250 (loved it) I sold it and replaced it with a 223 because I was intending on having a bolt and a semi .22 cal
I now have 3 .223 and it makes things simpler when going to the range that I only have to bring 1 box of shells.
I sold my 270 and bought a 308 for this same reason. At the time I knew I wanted a bolt, a semi, and a lever centerfire rifle so I cut down on different calibers and started looking at different actions.
As a bonus this allows me to bulk buy ammo sometimes even if it's still not cheap I might shave $5-8 off per box because I'm buying 10 boxes.

I’m fine? You OK?
 
Glad you like! See? Turns out I do have pics!

Red deer filet here. The bacon is actually smoked jowl. With scallops and a baked tater. Makes a nice surf n turf style meal! The red deer was taken via 308, this time. But not overcooking your scallops is arguably more important than whatever cartridge you decide to use.


Now, back on topic, does anyone still feel that 180gr or heavier bullets are actually necessary on the big critters, except perhaps in defense against ones trying to kill ya back? With today's bullet technology, kinda feel like a "not really" is warranted, but open to hearing experiences where they fell short.
