IN layman's terms, describe the bullet characteristics of the following:
7mm-08
30-06
.270
.300mag
OTher?
I have a 30-06 and would like another rifle that compliments the 30-06 of what the 30-06 doesn't do as well something else would. I dont' know too much crap about this.

You can go two ways from the aught6. You can go for a model 7 type rifle for up close work, or go the magnum route for ultra long range shite.
As far as those calibers, .270 and .30-06 are based off the same case and aren't much different. 7mm-08 is a .308 necked down to 7mm and there's not much difference between them. They are short action cartridges which means the rifles will be shorter than their lpng action counterparts. The belted magnums are good for 300+ yard shooting deer and for elk. They are usually 26" barreled with very long actions.

If you are asking me, they all do the job almost equally well. I dont know much about the 7mm-08, but the 30-06 is king in my family for deer, the .270 is my personal favorite because its a flatter shooter and has less recoil than the rest, and the .300 gives you longer range and a heavier round for big game. And enough recoil to throw my skinny arse around.
I would say the other wildcard would be the .308, a short action cartridge that lets you have a shorter, carbine type firearm that you can handle easily and still shoot at longer ranges.
ETA, see above post. Didnt know that about the 7mm-08. I do know that for me, there is a noticeable difference in recoil between the .270 and 30-06, but for anyone over 90lbs, it shouldnt be much of an issue.
