Default Which one to get 30-06 or .308

Looking at buying a new rifle I want it to be my all around hunting gun. Ive narrowed it down to .308 or 30-06. I already have a 30-30 and .223 guns already but I need something for long distance shooting. I Plan on keeping this rifle and using it exclusively for many years to come.

Game it will be usedare hogs & deer in Oklahoma. Bigger game a few yearsdown the roadlike moose and a mule deer in other states.

Since my wife andbrothershoot also I we go through alot of ammo smoung us. I want to stick with these rounds as they are abundent and ammo can be purchased anywhere.

What are the pros and cons of the each round? Are these calibers effective for most game inNorth America? Which round would you go with and why?

Thank you
