If you were looking to shoot deer or any animal you would be looking at being able to hit consistently a small target at 100 yards. Never mind the caliber if you can do that you are a better shot with a handgun than most people i know.
Advice here on shooting deer. Quote Although deer are comparatively large animals, the vital areas for clean kills are small. No one should consider stalking unless they can consistently shoot a group of three shots within a 10cm target at 100m.
