Default .356 Winchester

I have a Winchester model 94 .356 lever action that I purchased new about 15 years ago. I bought 2 boxes on ammo (200 gr. power point) and still have 6 rounds left. I rarely use this rifle because most of my hunting is done in open fields where 250 - 300+ yard shots are common. I want to hunt more of the swamp bottoms and cutovers next year and I was considering using this gun for those situations. I have recently discovered a website that carries this caliber in a 250 gr. round nose bullets. Most of the deer in my area only weigh 150 lbs. A 180 lb. deer is considered a Moose here in eastern, NC. The ballistics for this round is showing just a little better than 2000 fps at the muzzle. Has anyone had any experience with this caliber/bullet weight combination?

Thanks!
