If going far from home both the same might be nice. If not, another caliber might be nice to have, especially if you reload. Having both .30 caliber you could try different loads in both rifles with much less cost. Myself and family members I reload for have 30-06 or 308 using the same 150 grain cor-locs for deer etc.
