Both calibers would be good for the type of hunting you have listed. The 270 shoots flatter but the 30 06 hit harder.If you would like more information check out this web page "http://www.chuckhawks.com/all_around...dges.htm"

bear72 - I'd look at the .270 wsm. I think that will be the next best "all around" cartridge if there is one.

For what you mentioned either one will do in my opinion . I have used both and would be comfortable using either one .

I like 30-06 because I hunt mostly white tails but this will work when I finally get a chance to go for elk with my in-laws in Montana.

Either a .270 or a .30-06 would suit you fine. Like they said, .270 shoots flatter, but the .30-06 hits harder. Personally, I like my .30-06, but I have never shot a .270

It all depends on what you prefer, because they are both great cartridges. Good Luck

both are nice but i like bullet diameters that bigger. dont necessarily care for much speed on the bullet but i do like them fat. so based purely on my love of fat bullets i have to go with the .30-06, though a .338-06 or a .35 whelen could fit that bill very well
