RE: .308 or 30-006 for deer???
You allready have a 7mm mag, for the heavy stuff, the 30-06 and 308 are almost identical with the light bullets (150gr) used for deer and are not far behind your 7mm mag. I would widen the gap by going with a 7mm-08 or the .260 rem. Both great deer cartridges and you can get light weight rifles in these calibers.
