Bob,
Plus, much of the hunting I do is where I may see WT or elk, at long or short range, so the 7Mag IS a good choice for my style hunting.

As many have said, whitetails don't take much killin'. My favorites would probably be the 250 Savage, 257 Roberts, and 300 Savage. No flys on the 270, 7-08, 7x57,308 or any of a host of others. I just like to fit the cartridge to the game and the first three I named just seem to say deer hunting!

Lets see, I've shot them with the following: 243 Win 30-30 270 Win 7mm Rem 308 Win 300 Wsm 300 Roy 338 Win They all killed dear dead no doubt about it, but none planted them like the: 270 Win 7 Mag 300 Wsm 300 Roy 338 Win mag So I'm trying to say that I can not pick only three as so many work so very well. But there is a 308 and 338 in the gun rack now. And hopefully BobinNh will leave me a pre-64 model 70's in 270 win. in his will

.260

The .257 Weatherby would also make the list if I could add a fourth.

Many other have already stated that it is not that hard to put a WT on the ground.
My list wil vary from time to time, depending on my flavor of the month.
