I've shot fallow deer, a few pigs and a couple of goats with 7mm-08 PPU SP 140gr ammo. Velocity measured at 2800fps with that setup.
Those rounds are too devastating for fallow but at the time I didn't have anything smaller to use. Not too bad if you can tuck a broadside shot in just behind the front leg and avoid destroying meat but not always possible.
The projectiles tends to fragment quite a lot from what I've seen. I'm not sure if that's ideal or not, but they have reliably put animals down for me. It groups well in my rifle, kills well, and it's about the cheapest factory ammo. I rate it.
