My all time favorite was the now discontinued Sierra 170 gr power jacket, I also used to cast a 168 gr Kieth style SWC that was my favorite deer bullet for years.Cheap to boot. The 180 HornadyXTP is a good one as is the 170 Speer gold Dot. I like the heavier bullets for deer but lots of folks have used lighter bullets with success.
I have killed deer with all those bullets in .357 Revolvers and carbines and also use them in the .357 max as well.
I have used a bunch of different powders. H110/ww296 are real useful for max velocity. But AA9, 2400, 4227, unique and a bunch of others work well also.
Within your stated comfort zone all will do a good job IF you do your's
