At any rate, given the parameters of your needs, and strictly staying in barely sonic or sub-sonic velocity levels no matter the design/shape/weight, you still gotta put that bullet precisely where it'll do the most good. Spine/neck/head shots rule for that. Punch one of these bullets through the chest and that thing will run a heckuva ways before laying down. IMO we owe a lot more to our quarry than to shoot it in a manner in which it dies a hard death. The deer deserve a better shake than that.
The OP seems to know his business in that regard. I'm throwing it out for the benefit of some newbie lurker who might read this.
