The 223 and the 30-06 are what I've used pretty much for everything the last 3 years. My dad and brother used to farm, and 90% of the crop damage deer fell to these two
I did have a 300 H&H in a 1917, but with it being bigger, heavier, and longer than the Higgins, the Higgins was used way more.
If you're interested in the 338 shoot me a PM.
The 416 is useless, but it's impressive. It's sure not hurting anything hanging onto it
