Both moose and elk have been taken with a .357 handgun. Should be possible with a .357 carbine.
I'd check with your states game rules about minimum requirements.

I've seen data for .44 special cowboy loads in the 650fps range. Wouldn't want to try something that slow out of a rifle barrels because of the squib issue mentioned above. Shouldn't be a problem from a revolver.
