Default Which .303 British ammo?

I'm torn between two commercial .303 British loadings for deer hunting. The Federal 180 grain SP and the 180 grain Winchester Powerpoints. My rifle shoots well with both but I was hoping someone has some experience with these rounds and could tell me how they perform on game.

A few years ago I hunted with an Enfield P14 chambered in .303 Brit. I liked the Federal 180 gn softpoint myself, shot a 4 point in Chaz with it, but I suppose either would work OK. With a double lung, the 4 point only made it about 30 yards after a dose of the Federal. I recon you could drop a Moose with that round if you hit him proper.
