RE: Sierra, Speer or others for deer/bear.
For deer they all would be more than enough, but like was said, load the Noslers andthey will cover anything and everything you would ever use that rifle for, includeing big bears and moose. The nose is designed to be soft on an NP, so they would work well on deer too...
I'm a big believer in working up one bullet/load for each of my big game rifles and use it on everything i'd hunt with that rifle. You will become a much better game shot if you do....
