It never seems to amaze me what folks use to hunt deer. I use several magnum rifles and stds as well to hunt deer, I only use the mags for the added ballistic qualities for certain hunts where longer ranges are the norm. It's all about where you hit em. There's probably more game wounded with mags than stds.
I remember years ago when Dad showed up to elk camp with a 25-06 and Rem CLs. The other guys thought that was funny until he smoked a nice 5x5 at 150yds that only made it about 20yds after the shot(heart shot). Now, I personally wouldn't elk hunt with that combo, but it certainly proved the importance of shot placement.
