If you want a good blood trail or to drop them where they stand.. Nosler Partition, Barnes Expanders, Speer Gold Dots, any of the well copper made bullets or where the copper is more fused to the lead interior. What you will see then is excellent expansion, and the bullet will hold together enough to plow through, do lots of damage, and exit making two holes. Two holes make a better blood trail. Another good projectile is a conical. The old time pure lead conicals tend to blow through the deer, leave a large hole and lots of internal damage.

Some other good bullets, Parker Extreme, Shockwaves, XTP magnums, pure lead bullets also like the Cheap Shots, Dead Center, all of them seem to do well. Still,the main thing to remember, if the projectile you pick is not accurate, it is of little value. Shot placement will do more for bring the deer down faster then anything.
