I've taken several deer with 158gr JSPs in .357. Prefer them over JHPs because of better penetration and better odds of gettin' two leakin' holes instead of one. The Federal 158s you speak of are just fine, and you really do not need more if you do your part. You'll never be truly handgunnin' for deer till you leave the rifle at home tho.
