RE: Which Caliber for Whitetail?
Personally I would forgo the 270 Weatherby Mag. Not because it is a bad cartridge, but it can be expensive if you don' t reload. Besides, the 300 Win Mag, 270 Weat Mag, and 7mm Rem Mag are really a bit much for strictly a whitetail cartridge. Again, all are fine cartridges and if going after elk or something then the fit the bill. As far as the 30-06, 308 Win, 7mm-08 Rem choice I would choose the 7mm-08. Less recoil than the 308 and 06, plus it is flatter than both and has great sectional density and downrange ballistics. Funny you didn' t mention a 270 Win being available.
