Your prefer an inexperienced hunter choosing the right bullets. He better learn how to blood trail really quick. Or not be trendy and go with any of the rounds mentioned that have been dropping deer for 50+ years. At the ranges he’ll be shooting a cripplemore is less affective than say a 06, 270, 7mm08, 308. 6.5 Swede is a better option than a cripple more. 99% of hunter don’t shoot past 150 yards. Good try though.

Caliber choice has nothing to do with hunter experience. I have all the calibers you listed and a deer can be lost just as easily with one of those. Bullet choice and shot placement matter much more than the ballistic coefficient and SD. The 6.5 is the trendy thing right now and that’s all good. A 140 grain bullet,no matter if it’s shot from a 7mm08, Swede , or creedmoor , will kill a deer if the hunter puts it in the right spot.
I’m far from trendy and am more old school than most but if a deer is lost with any of the above mentioned rifles it’s not the cartridges fault.

Once they leave the barrel all of these are very very very close to identical.

I have a 7mm and 12ga combo. It's an awesome gun.
Bought it from my dads friend years ago. It was his favorite turkey gun for when a bird hung up.
