How far do you plan to shoot deer from. Sometimes we get too wrapped up in the minute details, I know I can. That flat nose bullet sierra is rec, may be alot better in the long run for bringing down your deer faster and the practical difference in ballistics may not be all that bad if it is more effective.
I thought Hornady made a 130 or 135 spitzer for handguns although if I remember right, it also may have trouble expanding at lower velocities. You'll have to ask them.
Wait till you shoot it from the bench at dusk. You'll see the muzzle flash in the scope and the grass in front of the bench will be moving after the shot.
I switched to a 7tcu after the 30-30 and the accuracy was amazing. But I never hunted them.
