I would think you'll be fine. Last year my son shot a buck with 154 grain SST out of his 7mm Remington Mag. The first shot was taken at about 50 yards and he hit the deer in the neck but missed the bone. Once he got to the buck it was trying to get up so he shot it again, this time hitting the bone, and almost decapitated the thing. In the end the bullet did it job and as high up on the neck as he was there was little meat loss.
