Whatever the 7mm and .270 can do the 30-06 can do better and it can do a lot more.

Not true the 7mm Rem Mag is a step up in performance from the .30-06 and .270 Win. A properly loaded 7mm Mag will hit with more energy than a .30-06 and better the trajectory than the .270 Win. It isn't as big of a step up as it has been marketed by Remington but it is still there.
As far as meat damage goes that could be any caliber if using a light bullet pushed to fast. If you can download your 06 to moderate levels for deer, so can you download a 7mm RM. Not discounting your choice of the 06 as your go to rifle but the 7mm RM will hold its own against .270 and .30-06.
