Sir Russ using the 550-gr Woodleigh RNSN at 2100 fps on Sambar deer seems appropriate as heck to me.
I have taken ground squirrel with the old Hornady 500-grain RNSN at 2150 fps and the squirrel did not complain a bit.
The deer won't either.

Headsup on a handy, cheap and available, bullet sizer from Lee, thanks to Sir Jerry.
It would be great for various lead bullet sizings in the .458 WM, from paper-patched slicks to hardcast-gas-checked-PC-painted.
It can also be used to transform .509" to .505" brass Barnes Banded Solids, see here:

Just to get a pic in at top of this page, a buffalo bullet with a little less recoil than the 550-gr Woodleigh:
