The only time I've seen chest-shot deer drop intantly is when I've hit the shoulder blade. The impact seems to drop them immediately and they die before they can get up. I've done that with a .32 Special and repeatedly with a 30-06. I've come to expect that hit to drop them immediately. I don't think it matters what you hit them with, it's where you hit them.
