Yeah, but having that big meplat of the .452" bullet impacting a buck at under 100 yards will certainly get its attention without a lot of meat damage. There is a reason I like big heavy projectiles for deer. They pack a punch and don't do an unnecessary amount of damage to the animal. The amount of deer meat damaged by my choice of weapon is measured in a few ounces, even on a shoulder shot.

Both sides of the argument will certainly get it done, but it is fun toting a different rifle in the woods compare to the other hunters out there. Sometime limiting yourself in range and performance can make you a better hunter. It makes it more of a hunter vs. prey scenario than a rifle vs. prey scenario. Be a hunter, not a shooter.
