I don't think there is any real difference between the 2 bullets the OP asked about. If those 2 are the only options choose which ever your rifle seems to like best.
And as Bugger pointed out, there are better choices. Quite a few of them.
Bench-rest accuracy is wonderful but is FAR less important then other factors for a big game hunt. If bullet (a) shoots 1/4MOA and Bullet (B) shoots 1 MOA and you don't have a bench rest, you will not be able to tell the difference in accuracy when you are hunting. But a bullet that balls up and holds together is a lot better then one that break apart.
Being brain washed into thinking that a 1/4MOA bullet is "better" then a 1 MOA bullet for big game hunting is similar to believing that the faster time of one car in the 1/4 mile makes it a "better car" then the pick-up truck, when the specific job is to haul block to a construction site.
Sure, both will kill a deer very quickly if the shot is broadside and placed where it should be.
When you see the difference is when you hit a bone that you didn't expect to hit, or when the deer is quartering strongly.
The good tough bullets don't care.
The bullets that turn into a charge of snake-shot often don't do as well with those shots.
