.45 colt as a deer round?

[daddyx2]

I just picked up a rossi/ taurus Circuit Judge carbine that shoots .45 colts and .410 shot shells. With a 2x3-7x leupold scope on here. Ammunition type is Federal Premium 225 grain hollow point wad cutters, and .410 high brass slugs. Will this make enough damage in the right spot at more than bow range? Or am I better off getting a bayonet for it and turning it into a javelin? Hindsight is 20/20 but they can't keep these on the shelves and I got lucky and they had one so I hopped on it like white on rice for $500 for rifle, $130 scope, $30 in ammo, and $40 for trigger lock and hard case. Thanks for the input by the way!

Sounds like a neat firearm but it wouldn't be my choice for a deer gun.

Yeah especially seeing how the box only talks about silver dollar sized groups at 40 yards... Prolly not good for reachin out and touchin somethin like I hopefully will do at that spot that I been tellin bogman about!
