.270 vs. 30-06

I'm absolutely positive this has been discussed but why not do it again. Is one better than the other? Mostly deer hunting and probably not gonna do much else with this gun. What do you guys think?

As has already been said, this might be the most pointless argument on this entire site. Other than LSU quarterback discussions anyway.

There is no winner. It's like Ford vs Chevy.

For deer, no difference.
.30-06 is a better choice if you think you might go hunting for elk or something in the future.

the .30-06 has been killing shite for 108 years. It's not stopping anytime soon.

In my simple mind, i say... .270 is a little bit flatter, with the 30.06 having a little bit more energy transfer.
If i were planning on hunting pipelines where my shots would be 150-300 yards, i would probably go with .270. Whereas, if my shots maxed out at 200, the 30.06 is the ticket.
There are advantages to each, but they're so similar, you'll never know the difference, honestly.
270 WSM for the win. (watches for King Ranch WSM are stupid comments...)

Six one, half a dozen the other. Both have been killing, and doing it well, for a long time.

They are two of the best deer caliber a ever made, and they are pretty interchangeable.
One may have a slight advantage in one area, where the other is just a little ahead in another area.
270
30'06
280
308
7mm08
Can't go wrong with any of those for deer hunting.
They'll all perform nearly the same.

Good resource on comparing rifle calibers.
I shoot a 270 Win and love it. I hand load 140 gr Swift A Frame, BC 0.414, 57 gr WMR, 2900 fps.

I have both 30.06 and .270 in Browning A-bolt with the BOSS system. I have found that I get the tightest shots with the 30.06 at 200 yards with Barnes 150 grain SBT. I reload them and after trying dozens of different bullets these are the most accurate I have ever shot. Even with long shots both guns have plenty of knock down power.
The most important thing with shooting (in my opinion) is to shoot the same bullet weight always.
Practice, practice, practice. This is much more important than all the gear that stores try to sell you. Shoot often and know how your rifle works under different conditions.

Win .308 is the most bang for the buck, IMO. I've used it for 16 years on the stand and knock down whatever I hit.
