I think from a ballistic standpoint you don't want the bullet to exit.. you want as much, preferably all the bullets energy to be absorbed by the vital organs of the deer helping ensure it's quick demise. When a bullet exits that means all of its energy wasn't absorbed by the target and that increases the chances of it not being a humane or quick kill.. maybe look for a bullet that has a better expansion rate when it hits soft tissue. I believe the hornaday bullets are deeper penetrating before they expand. Something like the SGK may expand better.. again, not a hunter but I do really take pride in "trying" to understand ballistics. At any rate it's probably worth exploring:)
