What is everyones deer hunting bullet and why???

I always have good luck with my .308 w/ 150 gr or 165 NBT or SSTs. Never had one move a step after I pull the trigger.

I just like to keep it simple and cheap. I use Hornady 165gn SP in my model 740 .308 loaded with 43.5 grains of 4064 for either side of 2600 FPS. I get around 2 inch groups at 150 yards, which isn't bad for a 60+ year old gas gun. The longest shot on 2 dear last season was 80 yards and both of them bolted for 3 or 4 steps and went down. Both bullets went all the way through but the insides were destroyed in both deer
