lots of good replies here.....heavier bullet and bonded ones are all good choices.

I'm a fan of the Hornady interlock.....the 162 BTSP at roughly 3,000'/sec s a very far reaching and effective bullet for deer.

You don't really need premium bullets to effect good kills on deer size animals!!! The ballistic tips and SST bullets work as well but I'm looking for exits and I get them more often with the heavier bullets and heavier jackets of the interlocks.
