All of the loads listed seem to be fine. I have shot whitetails, mule deer, and elk with mine. When I was hunting Pa. and WVa. years ago, my pal was a real gun nut.
We were always trying different calibers, plus I had an older friend that was one of the original long range shooters in Pa. He liked the .300 Wea. At the time mentioned one of the better bullets for light game was the Seirra 165 gr. hpbt. We all shot it I used it a great deal on western game, but one shot always sticks in my mind. I was easing through an old apple orchard when a huge doe stood up from her bed. I shot her behind the shoulder and she just collapsed. I will say the bullet did not exit nor destroy much meet. It didn't exit. I believe the load sent that bullet at just over 3400 fps. Shot into the shoulders the was massive destruction. But it was a deadly killer on deer!!
