To get a tougher bullet you will need to either go to a premium bullet (Pricey) or go up in weight.
As mentioned above I reckon the 145 Speer Hotcore (not the BTSP) would be the first one I would try you will only loose 25-50 FPS depending on barrel length and have a bullet that holds together well but still opens up well.

He was using the 140gr Hollow point Game king, these have a large hollow point with petels designed to fragment. Go to a soft point game king or prohunter and you will be well served. US Whitetail get alot bigger than our Sika too.
