I hit a whitetail doe at around 200 yds with a 154 gr Hornady. It was loaded in a 7x57 and travelling in the vicinity of 2600 fps.
It was an angleing shot that entered in the front shoulder and the bullet was recovered in the opposite hip. My friend that recovered the bullet while butchering the doe said it was a nice mushroom.
Broadside shots on other whitetail deer from zero to 225 yds fully penetrate the deer's body. I've used this load on 5 or six whitetails.
The 154's work well at moderate velocities....
