Re: .22 Savage HiPower or 5.6x50R in a Drilling?

I have an original 99 Savage in .22 Savage HiPower and I find that it kills deer like lightning, but produces no exit wound, hence leaves no blood trail, should the shot be less than ideally placed.
I have a 5.6x52R/12ga combi... I don't consider any of the 22's quite enough to be a "deer rifle" so i've never harvested a deer with it. I just feel that something that expands well but gives much better penetration should be used on deer sized animials...
