My big-bore revolver deer load is a 250-grain caset SWC at about 900 fps. You could do that easily with Unique or HS-6 in the 45 Colt. The loads you mention are more like what I'd use for elk, but I'm funny that way.

That is just a little more then I get with my 45acp load. I think I am around 800-830fps with a 250gr truncated cone. I have been wanting to take a deer with it since I got it. Seems more then enough for close range and accurate shooting.
So pretty good luck with that load on deer? Plenty of penatration?
