My buddy just got a Rossi .44 Magnum lever-action carbine. It's a nice gun, and proved very accurate out to 50 yards - we need to get it on the longer range to try it at 100 yards.
His first handloads were mild, clocking 1150FPS in his 6" handgun and up to 1500 FPS in the carbine. Recoil was very managable.
Winchester loads clocked 1700FPS, and kicked more.
It'll work fine for deer down here.
