Im trying to get ideas on a non-magnum caliber,im looking for a round that is flat shooting out to 200yds, and when it hits it mark it will do its job,on a trophy buck i will aim at the shoulder,not behind..what do you guys think would be best for that??

For that range and the shoulder most any standard action round will work but the ..308 or 30-06 would be my top choice. If you don't hand load you can find just about any brand ammo in all bullet choices anywhere ammo is sold.
The deer would not know the difference at 200-300 if shot with a 25-06 or 30 cal so it comes down to personal preference.
BTW...I don't have either of those; .223, 243, 25-06 and .280. Ammo for the latter two is limited on the shelves so mail order is the best bet.
