I mostly use Hornady. Have had no issues at all puttin some fairly large pork chops down with it. If it'll do them in, it will have even less issues with a deer.
My daughter shot a 175 lb whitetail buck this year with a 6.5 Grendel, it ran 30 yards and fell over. Lung shot. So, it's plenty of bullet for any whitetail.
For pigs, they are all DRT. Blows up their insides.
I load the 120gr speer gold dot and does pretty well. Plan on trying some ELD-M bullets at about 2580 fps.
The SST factory stuff i can never get to shoot all that well maybe 1"-1.5" at best. Hand loads are .288"-.75" with ELD-m and Speer Gold dots.
