Without a doubt - the Nosler .458/300 grain Partion Protected Point in a MMP HPH-.457/.458x 50 Orange sabot or the the .451/300 grain Nosler - aboutthe same bullet. The .458 is a bullet manufactured for the 45-70 rifle. The draw back and I believe there are two...
1. expensive
2. at very close ranges can get it and out of a deer to quickly...

I use the Nosler .451/260 grain Partition HP on deer - devastating.

There is another another choice that is less expensive that can be used on deer or elk... .452/300 grain Speer Gold Dot. It is a bonded bullet and it has controlled exspansion down the dot in the the core. It really is a "poor man's" Nosler.

Also as mentioned - if you find the right one and one that will fit in your bore - Barnes solid copper bullets are awfull hard to beat...

While there has been a lot of success stories posted using the new polymere tipped pointy bullets - it is awful hard to beat a Nosler over a wide range in distance and the wide range of velocities that it will work with.

Just my 2 cents....
