X2 on hornady. Best thing you could do is buy a box of each and shoot them side by side to see which shoots best out of your rifle.
EDIT: The only bullet that can keep from damaging meat is a an accurate one. Put it behind the shoulder thru the rib cage and the only meat you will damage is the shanks and rib meat which personally I don't mind loosing.
