165gr Spitzer, cheap, reliable, deadly accurate..

Then again i just killed 2 deer this past thanksgiving both with match rounds. Neither moved. It's really about shot placement. Buck was shot with a 175gr BT LR, and the doe was shot with a 77gr SMK from my 18" AR. Hell federal soft point will work it's really up to your choice. My dad has shot 150gr Cor-lokt for years and it's never failed him.
