Preferred ammunition for hunting whitetail deer?

I shoot a Savage .308 and use 150 grain Remington Core Lokt PSP.
They are relatively inexpensive at 14-20 dollars per 20 rd box and they get the job done. I have always had good penetration and expansion and have never lost an animal I shot with this combo.

Silly me for believing the title was pretty specific.
It was not preferred projectile for hunting, but if we are including those:
Carbon Express Trophyhunter Lite dressed with 2" quickspins and a lumenock with 100 gr wasp stingers.

150 grain Remington Premium Core-Lokt Ultra (like $45 a box 
) out of a .30-06
Will never buy the Sirocca (or however they are spelled) again. Wouldn't mushroom. Small hole in, small hole out.

So why do you use it over 150 gr Remington Core-Lokt PSP .30-06 $15-20 per box
BTW:
Sirocca

I think I may have a new self assigned nickname.

I used to shoot a Remington 7400 .308 with the 150 grain Remington Core Lokt ammo.
Thanks to a very generous graduation gift, I now shoot a Tikka SS .270 with Hornady 130 grain.

We've been really happy with the bullet. Seems to really pack a punch. Why? I don't know. I usually only shoot a few times a year so it's not like the cost really matters that much.
However, when I'm at the range, I don't like shoot $2+ bullets for target practice.

I kind of want to try some other "better" rounds in my .308 but I just cant find a reason to do so. I will admit that the polymer tipped bullets are appealing to me as my current ones tend to to get a bit of flattening of the nose if handled too much.

Why? What practical advantages are you gaining when used for Whitetail deer.

None, I've just always shot hand loads because my Dad likes to reload.
