I'd do it.
My daughter shot a buck this past season with a Ruger 77/.357 using 158 XTP FP over 17.5 grn of Lil-gun (1850 fps). Quartering shot and it punched a nice hole all the way through the on-side shoulder and out the back ribs on the other side. That said, I'm keeping an eye out for a doner 77/.44 mag to turn into a .41 Mag. for Dad. grin
