Yes they will work, just don't try to break the shoulder or expect to shoot the south end of a deer and get good penetration.  Broadside lung shots would be your best.  I've only killed two deer with my old 44 Contender.  One was with a 180 Sierra JHP and the other a 200 gr Nosler JHP, both one shot kills.

By the way, who makes a 185 gr bullet?
