With proper shot placement it should do the trick.

I've killed more than a few whitetails with a model 29 S&W and 240 grain JHP, but always used a bit stouter load. Also I was never a fan of shooting jacketed bullets with fast burning powder. I seem to have better accuracy with a case full of slower burning stuff.
