    I used 155 Amax in a Tikka 595 18'barrel +suppressor with a hot load of Win.748 powder which gave me a speed of 2820fps.
    Shot a stag from 15mtr broadside in front shoulder.
    Stag took less than 10 steps and expired.
    Projectile went through both shoulders, fragmented and a ~ 80grain piece was stuck just under skin on opposite side (similar to the picture from @7mmsaum), both legs where pretty much buggered.

    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.
