Hi. Welcome. Please drop by New Members and introduce yourself!
For a .224" bullet to hunt deer I would look at the Hornady 70-gr GMX All-Copper monolithic bullet.

It has really great ballistic coefficient, and it holds together 100% even if your shot is angled or if your deer are really big or you hit major bone.
Varget or RL-15 would work great. Varget is very temperature IN-sensitive.
If I could not find Hornady GMX then the Barnes TSX or TAC-X 70 gr is also great as a hunting round for deer.

Knew lol
I have a loading of 20.5 grains of AR Comp, under a Barnes 70 gr TSX, with a 2.250 overall length, basically max for a STANAG magazine. My notes showed it shooting 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards, from a 16 inch lightweight barrel, with a red dot sight.
I use either Reloader 15, or AR Comp for my heavy bullets, I did see an improvement in accuracy from my bull barrel when I switched to AR Comp with a 77grain Nosler.
