The “ammo at the store” argument is the silliest and most elementary argument in the history of ever, even though it’s valid. …

It is hardly a “silly” argument for those that don’t handload. For those that do, finding brass can be more difficult and is likely to become more so as time progresses. .30-06 brass is common and cheap and will remain so.
For 99% of hunting needs, the 7mm WSM and .30-06 are peas in a pod.
Ammo selection for the 30-06 is head and shoulders above the 7mm WSM. Midwayusa lists 12 different types of ammo for the 7mm WSM. Midway lists 117 for the 30-06.
Between the two, the choice is easy – 30-06 all day every day.
