I have killed 3 deer with Hornady 240 gr. XTP with sabots and 2 deer with power belts and 2 with great planes bullets. I only use power belts in my .50 Encore now. They are the most accurate in my 50 cal Encore. I  am still experimenting with my .45 cal Encore. I am going to start using roundballs in my T/C Renegade.  

All of my shots have been 60 yards or less. 90% of my deer I did not have to trail, they either fell in the spot they were shot or only ran 30 to 50 yards. I only had to trail one over 100 yards.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
