Well I use 180 grain soft point remington's and I killed 2 deer on monday. The first one dropped with a shot that went in behind the shoulder and broke the oppisite shoulder. And the second was a big deer that I shot and only ran 50 yards with a good blood trail. So I would go with 180 grain soft points not the pointed so points because they are more for longer shots. But just make sure you hit them good and im sure you wont have any problems.
