The Remington 405gr trapdoor loads will kill just fine. they have that added benefit of being easier on your shoulder than the 325gr stuff. Availability might be better too.
My first time to shoot a .45-70 was with the 325gr... "stuff"... 5rds and I was done. 405's are much better.
Depending on your state's regulations and what terrain you intend to hunt in, a 405gr Lazercast over 12grs Unique, a pleasant handload to shoot... depending on distance, it could be a fine deal for a deer. (I wouldn't try it in my state because of the requirement for expanding bullets, or at least bullets not designed not to expand.)
