That was a good link for the 7mm-08 fans out there! Both are so close I can see why you are having trouble making a choice. Pick the rifle you use and trust the most, as always preached shot placement is 100x's more important than sectional density, knock down power, FPS, or any other man made scale. That being said there still are legal limits and ethical limits, the 7mm-08 meets both in all areas that I am aware of. I would not shoot any further with the 30-06 than I would with the 7mm-08.
