Too big, no such thing. More than what you need? Deffinately, no doubt about it, waay overkill for deer in most scenerios unless you are talking long range shooting. And then I sitll think a 308, 270 or 30-06 could get the job done if you shoot well enough and know your weapon.
My opinion anyway.

Yes, we in shotgun only zones use 50-54 cal. ML's and 45 to full bore slugs in shotguns, but at no where near the velocities of a 300 win mag. A muzzle loader or shotgun really doesn't do that much damage, at least not compared to a centerfire.
