Funny, but I have one .30-06 and two .280s. I know I only "need" one of the three and dread having to make the choice, but I want to pare down on my possessions. I'll just do what I have to do, though. That said, I'll suggest that it's six of one or a half dozen of the other when it comes to getting the job done because both will launch very good bullets with sufficient vigor. If you handload, the .280 is very interesting but if you only buy factory ammo, then the .30-06 makes more sense.
