The ole 06 will be good for 5-600 yds if you know how to shoot it. The 300 will have more energy and will usually drop them in their tracks, just depends on what yardage you want to shoot, I have two 06 trued in at 250yds and will handle any shot I use them for. If I hunt clearcuts or pipelines I'm using the 308 where I feel comfortable out to 600 with it, a quick dial up to 4.1 mils and I'm zeroed at 600.

300 all day long. As mentioned however the 7 mag will get you the same results with less recoil, better BC, and still about the same ammo availability
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

You never mentioned what ranges you would be shooting but my choice between
Those 2 it would be the 06. More than enough out to 300 or so yards provided you understand ballistics.
My choice in caliber after 20+ years of trying everything is the .257 Weatherby
300 yards is the max i will even try to hit a deer and with the 257 i can hold dead on from 0-300. No ranging/thinking/clicking/bullet drop scope crap. Just aim and shoot. The only negatives to me would be dealing with the 26’’ barrel in a shooting house and the high cost of ammo. Just my 2 cents.
They make them in 24" & you can load them. No negatives.

If you are just hunting here in Alabama; between those two calibers I’d go with the 30-06. I won’t go over all the reason because they have been mentioned above.
If you aren’t hung up between 30-06 and 300 win mag, as mentioned above I’d lean hard towards a .257 Wby.

Most times we get way too hung up on stuff that don't matter.There's not one of us in 10,000 that will be shooting so far at a deer that a 300 win would kill it but a 243 wouldn't,and that guy is just showing out.LOL He could have and should have set up closer.
Yep.

I love .30 cals, all of them! Have a .308, 30-06, .300wm, .300wby, and .300wsm
I also would always rather be over-gunned. I look it at it like having 4WD, better have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
And at 260lbs recoil don't rattle my cage at all.
SO, I say go for the .300 OP! Plenty of good ammo options from 150grain all the way up to 220!

Before buying the 300 win mag, you might as well step it up to the 300 RUM, or the 30-378 wetherby, then you can really walk around with a hard on.

Thanks for all the input guys. Where I am after reading it all, is probably going to go with a 300 Win Mag. I know I don't need it to kill a deer, but I want one  Go ahead and get a light weight one and get cured of magnumitus before you get any older.

.300 WBY with the "cheaper" 180 Norma bullets will run 3200 and drop a whitetail like a sack of taters. 200-250yds like a lightening bolt. That's my favorite cutover cartridge. So will the same ammo in .257 on whitetail. Still like $40 a box though.
All that being said the best terminal performance on Whitetails in any cartridge I've used are .35 caliber. If I was only shooting 200-250 I'd take a Whelen over any of them.

New gun day is the best.
PM me when you pick up that new 300WM. I've got some good factory loads I'll sell you cheap. I need to get them organized and get them out of my shop.
