Nothing is guaranteed, but I have dropped dozens and dozens of deer with lung/shoulder shots using 150 gr SST in a 30-06 running 3100 fps. My assumption on most of them is that shrapnel cracked or broke the spine.
I have 2 cousins that have killed hundreds of deer with 154 SST in a 7mmRM running as fast as you can safely
push them..... and then some.... They get a LOT of DRT kills and have killed more deer than many people have seen.
I'm sure anything similar would yield similar results.
