Default Browning BAR shooters, I need some input 300WSM vs 30-06

I'm getting a synthetic stalker in the next couple months and I can't decide if I want the shorttrac .300WSM or longtrac 30-06. I'd imagine it's not going to be as much a tack driver as a bolt gun at 350-400 yards and further. Most shots will be on whitetail at 50-250 yards but I have had to pass some 350-450 yard shots when packing my .35 Marlin. I love the .300WSM in the bolt actions I have shot, but the 06 is a tried and true round. I am really just curious as to the accuracy I'm looking at in these two rounds in the BAR platform. It will also be used some on boar, elk, and perhaps black bear. Anything real heavy gets the call of my Marlin 1895G.
