No offence but the question/statement is a bit hard to understand(at least for me)
If the rifling pitch is OK for your intended bullet shape and length ?
If you are shooting a bullet which will properly seal in a rifled barrel(no blow by )and not sure in the bullet weight-why not try out ?

Stands to reason-slow( blackpowder driven ) but heavier bullet is always better for moose. Not so much for deer , i think.
If shoots good in your gun-why not use that ?You may loose some energy and drop faster-but that is that.
