I shoot 150 grain Winchester Ballistic Tips. I get great groups from my rifle and that bullet, but I have also shot Federal Premium 150 grain ballistics and Remington Premier Accu Tips that also shoot good for factory loads

When I get a new rifle, I get a box of several different brands, the more you try, the better!...the gun will tell you which it likes best.
Other than reloading , that's about the best way to find what's best for your rifle.

More than likely, any of'em you choose will be adaquate for deer, but like I said before...try several brands, and you'll almost assuredly find that ONE is more accurate in YOUR gun than the others.
