I like those 240 gr softpoints for deer and elk. Its a solid load. I use the same load for bear (we aren't talking grizzlies or dangerous game). A flat point like the winchester 240 gr is designed to musroom and penetrate.
Truthfully depending on where you hunt there might not be enough meat in the deer to get a handgun as powerful as a 44 to expand at all, you'll shoot clean through it. so with a handgun, i'd suggest shooting a bit further forward to break the shoulder and get its lungs.
