BTHP for hunting deer?

I'm new to the forum, not so new to hunting and rifles, but would like to hear the opinions of many on this subject.
I've always been of the opinion that a BTHP would be adequate for Whitetails out of my 30-06, however after recently purchasing a 25-06, I was told that I may want to consider some of the "tipped" ammo instead of BTHP's, especially from the 25-06, which will be shooting lighter bullets.
(the 30-06 does well with 168gr, and the 25-05 seems to like the 100gr)
Looking for opinions on this matter-
Should I start reloading for both rifles with "tipped" ammo, or should I be happy with the success I've enjoyed, using well placed BTHP's
I'm not opposed to change, but generally want to change for the better perfomance, not "just because"
Thanks in advance
