I have taken one deer and three hogs (150-250 pounds) with a similar load (240 XTP, 23.0 H110, Winchester Brass, Winchester Large Pistol Primer), all of them were DRT with the longest shot being about 75 yards, and all of them exited. If a 7.5 inch Ruger Redhawk shooting a 240 XTP at 1450 fps works like that, a 240 XTP at 1750 from your .44 Ruger Carbine should be Da Bomb.

Just my .02,

Don't forget Elmer Keith killed a mule deer at 600 yards using a S&W Mod 29 .44 mag with a 250 gr. cast hard lead flat nose bullet.
