bcraig, all you need to do is wander over to the specialty pistol forums and you'll have all the evidence you need to convince you that bullet performance will be just fine. Anybody running a .30-30 from a handgun is shooting slower or equal to what you're running, and even though they're shooting spitzers, the flat points at 200 yds will kill deer. I can assure you of this as I've killed several deer with a .357 Maximum pistol running 190 gr. flat points with a lower BC and wider front end than your rounds at distances close enough to 200 yds that it doesn't matter, the ammo will get the job done IF you put the bullet where it needs to be.
