When I was a high-school and college kid back in the late 60s/early 70s, I killed six deer with a Model 27 6.5". It was my only gun, my dad gave it to me for Christmas in 1966. I used a fairly stout load of 2400 and a hard cast 160 grain SWC with a gas check. He used to cast them and they were a very hard alloy. They worked great.
