It trumps it in exactly zero aspects. A 30-06 launches a 150 grain bullet over 3000 fps, a 165gr bullet over 2900 FPS and a 200 grain bullet over 2700 FPS and burns powder at a 99% efficiency rate while doing it.
As an efficient hunting cartridge the 338-06 would be one of my last choices. It is hamstrung on so many levels.
