A bullet for the lower 48 more than what you need for a deer but a Barnes a 168 grain ttsx or Nosler 180 grain Partion or Accubond would be tough to beat for a do anything bullet in all 50 states.
This is pretty much what I was thinking. I’d try 180 Partition or 180 Accubond. If I couldn’t get either of those to shoot, then a lighter mono-metal bullet would be my next choice.
