.44 Special Deer Load

Toying with the idea of using a .44 special load for deer this fall. I have been reading up on the .44 special and I always see bullet weight of 240 gr. being suggested and used. Why not a 300 gr.? Is 300 gr just simply too big for the velocity of the .44 special. Step up the velocity too much and you're into magnum territory, or so I think.
