Default Stopping power.

I am not very satisfied with the 180 grain bullets I shoot with my
30-06. On deer sized game they penetrate a little to much before expanding. I do not get very good exit holes, just slightly bigger than the bullet. Not much blood hits the ground. I would like something that would stop the deer in his tracks as it is very hard to track in the area that I live. I seem to remember something someone said about using 150-165 grain bullets because they transfer more energy in the animal or something like that? What do you guys recomend? I mainly hunt whitetail, sometimes mule deer. I have been using Rem. core-lokt.
