I haven't read this whole thread so forgive me if it's already been mentioned but the federal fusion may be worth a look. If I recall correctly it is a bonded bullet and they offer it in a 62gr load. I ran into a guy a while back who's young daughter used it for her first deer hunt and he seemed to be pleased with the results. Being familiar with the small deer in Alabama I don't think you'd have to do much tracking if you put a 62gr pull through the lungs.
