The 30-06 will be running a 200 gr NP. The 6.5 will use a bullet of choice. Same scenario.
Wanna play ?

I have never owned a 30-06, and I will never hunt with one, but I wouldn't for a minute feel undergunned at 170 yards, for any legal game in Alberta, with my 6.5x55. As for 200gr bullets, I never used heavier than 180gr in either my 300wby, or my 300RUM, because it simply isn't required. I would have used the 168gr TSX in my 300RUM rifles if they shot as well as the 180gr TSX did.
