If I still lived in an area where I hunted deer at less than 200 yds, I would have stuck with a 7 mm br , Not truly a widcat but also not readily available. In my xp 100 and the remington 700 i had in that caliber , it just killed stuff dead with no theatrics. I usually used 140 gr Ballistic tips and either H322 or IMR 8208xbr when it came out.......
