As JayG mentioned in comments prior, a hollow point .44 may be TOO powerful.
Here is the MBtGE quote:
When you shoot a deer in the head with an FMJ it drills a .44 hole in and a .44 hole out. Hollow points goes in with a .44 and out like a cannon ball. It doesn't just mushroom, they shatter. It is spectacular!
So there might be something in that theory of "too much gun..."

But if it's a head shot, does that matter? You aren't going to eat the brain, right?
Never had a problem with deer hunting with a 44. I used 240 gr hollow points, and it dropped them without a lot of collateral damage. It worked fine on elk, also.
Maybe the size of the deer has something to do with it. In my area all the deer are mulies, which tend to be bigger and heavier than most white tail deer, which are the most common deer in many areas.
