Yes he did say he wanted to hunt deer in GA but that State also has hogs and black bear. He said his biggest concern was Ammo availability and cost and that he wasn’t a hand loader. He also asked WHY someone would recommend one over the other. I started by saying that 308 is cheap and available and will remain so for a good while longer. The 308 Ammo is cheaper primarily because it is readily available and performs well WITHOUT premium bullets. Six and 6.5 would be OK for deer with cheaper cup and core bullets but not larger, tougher game in my opinion. I thought I’d add that part in answer to the WHY of it. In other words - fine for deer but if you might cross species, you’ll need to spend $45/box for the smaller calibers. With 308 you can pretty much do it all for $25/box.
