That said any of the "big three" will work well, .308, 30-06, or .270 win. They all kill the same animals at about the same ranges, same poop different pile really.

I like both of these answers.
Been a 30-06 guy for 30+ years but been intrigued by the 7mm-08 cartridge for awhile now and find myself trying to justify buying one.
I bought my 13yo boy a .243 a few years ago,I kinda wish now we had gone with the 7-08,I’d have a bit more confidence in him stepping up to game larger then deer with it.
