All the rounds mentioned will do. If it were me, having only one gun and limited to only deer, I'd pick... hmmmm... a 257 roberts, no wait, a 7-08, no maybe a 7x57, no better yet a .270, or better yet maybe a .280!
Really, deer aren't hard to kill. Pick a gun that you like. What cartridge it shoots is less important.
exception: Stay away from the magnums for deer. Totally unnecessary, and the added recoil will take away from accuracy.
