ORIGINAL: m.t.hands
at 150 yrds and less they will both do about the same thing (kill deer), out past that i'd rather have the -06, both have killed a bunch of deer, the advantage of the 06 is the extended range, very versitale round, good for about anything in north america, if i were buying id say go with the 06, but if all i had was a 30-30, which is what i and hundreds of others started out with, i would hunt all i wanted just keeping my shots limited to around 150 yrds.
