Quit reading the headstamp. Read the dead deer.

Can you tell which of the above killed it?

Of the three rounds stated there is very little difference in the field. One must cater the round to the animal and the type of hunting that one is doing. For instance- if i were hunting black bear in very thick woods i would want a 338 federal because it WILL open up a bigger wound with more blood that will hit the ground to make for easier tracking. On deer sized critters any of the three will do the job, just remember most game animals are shot within 200yds so long distance energy and velocity mean very little in the real world.
