You should get about 1200 fps or so with a 240 gr. saboted bullet with one 50-grain 777 pellet. That would be the equivalent of a hot loaded .45 Colt or lightly loaded .44 Magnum handgun or a .44/40 factory load from a rifle. Those loads have been killing deer for years. At the short ranges you mention, there shouldn't be a problem.
