One load I've seen work is the Hornady 100gr with 36.0gr IMR4064. When my son was 8 he popped a 115lb doe at about 25 feet. Broke both shoulder bones low and exited. This with a Model 7 stainless 20" barrel. Probably 2700 fps or so. I've shot bowling pins at 100 yds with this load. Offhand you never lose the sight picture. Recoil is just a bump.
