Without a longer (heavier, more awkward) barrel it's a 30-06,
Wrong. The WSM is faster at all barrel lengths, more accurate, fits in smaller rifles, and is just flat out better. There is no question, and no useful grounds for the .30-06 to compete on. The .300 WSM is simply superior to the .30-06.
Go ahead, tell me how wonderful the .30-06 is if you forget your ammo! Do it!
And one again we discover the ,30-06 fangirls are the most sensitive out there. When the failure of their garbage cartridge is pointed out, the cry and whine. But they can't defend it, because the .30-06 lacks any advantages..

Funny post! Seems to me the fangirl for the 300 WSM is crying out for attention which is needed since his puzzy hurts bad over the 30-06 being so good if you have one you don't need a 300 WSM. That brass for the 30-06 is always available and cheap is a nice touch also.

According to the Winchester website the M70 FWTs in 30/06 and 300WSM both weigh 7lbs. The WSM is 1.5" longer due to its 24" bbl.
The higher velocity of the WSM (180gr Power Points) results it about 2" less drop at 300 yards. So for the vast majority of hunters, what is the advantage?
Oh, perhaps the advantage is the 20% increase in recoil?
Let's see if you an respond without childish insults...
Here's my .257 Roberts, a Ruger #1-A. After some stock tweaking and load development, I have settled on an 80 gr. Barnes TTSX bullet, ahead of Hybrid 100V powder. This load shoots sub-MOA, and is a real pleasure to shoot. My preferred rifle for stand hunting for Whitetail.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

Seriously? You call the 30-06 a garbage cartridge? You are too dim witted to be a halfwitt. I guess you are fully capable of being a dumbass.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

Short actions are lighter. That's just a fact. The WSM also saves you on EFFECTIVE barrel length because the length that covers the case is wasted. So It is lighter both for the barrel and the action. Those are basic facts which anyone should be able to understand.
Drop is irrelevant. Buy a rangefinder. The reason you shoot a faster round is to reduce your windage and therefore susceptibility to wind call error and to extend the range of reliable expansion.
If you are looking for reduced recoil buy a 6mm Creedmoor.

It is absolutely a garbage cartridge. It was junk militarily (far too heavy, far too big a bore diameter, and of course the -03 clown show initially) and junk as a sporting cartridge (numerous failings). The .276 Pedersen was merely the first of many superior alternatives in the US sphere, with the .30-06 falling behind both our own development and that of the Europeans in the interwar years. By WW2 it was unquestionably a liability.
