Both are plenty of gun for the biggest deer and hogs. A .270 uses the same case as the 30-06...just necked down. The only case I see for one being better than the other is if you think you may go to bigger game later on. In that case you can get heavier bullets for the 30-06.

For stricty deer and hogs, nothing beats the .270. That is my favorite gun. I have a Winchester .270 A-Bolt and my father has a Browning A-Bolt in 7mm mag so its the best of both worlds. Just be ready for the kickback in either gun! Good luck.
