It could be a thread in the reloading forum but it could be answered here as well.

I'd personally choose the Hornady XTP and find an accurate max load. Deer are thin-skinned, light-boned animals and not very "thick". Two holes would be preferable. I'd use the 155gr, probably, and drive it as fast as I could push it within published data.
