I think you will find even if that low velocity, that adding the gas checks that hard cast bullet was designed the use will increase your accuracy, in my 44 Smith & Wesson I normally used 21-22 grains of H110 with the bullet seated out as long as possible and still seat inside the cylinder length, I get just above 1200 ft. per second, and I think you will find like I have that it does an outstanding job on killing dear, I cast my bullets using 4% to 6% tin added to wheel weight metal
if you want to reduce the recoil level using a jacketed hollow point 240 grain bullet will work well on deer for lung shots but it opens too fast or shoulder shots on HOGS, after loading for most of my friends and their 44 magnums we have all settled on using the same load of 21 grains of H110 under that 310 grain Lee bullet, two of us using 445 Dan Wesson supermag's use that bullet over 29 grains of accurate arm 1680 for almost 1600 ft. per second which makes for noticeable increase in power, but of course that noticeable increase in power is not necessary on deer or hogs, and probably isn't necessary even on Elk. But I sure am sure am going to do my very best to irritate some large Elk with that 445 Dan Wesson the first chance I get, and I'll let you know how well it works when I get back. But that's not going to be until next year because I just had surgery on my ankle and the surgeon says it will take several months to heal
