That should be well within a 6.5s range for good terminal ballistics.
You might want to take a close look at this ammo. I'm a big fan of Barnes. I've used Barnes bullets on a lot of different game in a lot of different situations and it has never let me down. Always rapid and reliable expansion with deep penetration.

I've taken several with .44 mag. handloads. Does mostly. I use open sights, and limit myself to about 40 yds.

I'll add that taking deer with a handgun is not first choice, I only do it under special circumstances. Also, I am reasonable proficient with large caliber, heavy bullets, because I practice at it.

I’ve shot several with a .41 magnum, they all went down like you pulled a plug. They were all within 20 yards with a good sight picture. Like bow hunting you have to choose your shots.
Looks good. Get glass on it and shoot it! You can try different styles of resting or free standing but ya gotta burn some ammo . I have shot thousands of rounds and that's the only
to get meat with a pistol. Lotsa practice. I love it.

Shot my biggest buck with a 460 S&W revolver at about 45-50 yards. Went down right there and stayed there. Used a handloaded 240gr Hornady XTP-MAG bullet.
