My uncle tried to shoot a deer once with a .30 carbine at a shade over 100 yards. As I recall it just knocked a lot of hair off it, but no blood and no deer. I wouldn't use it to hunt deer, but maybe coyotes at short range or other varmints. That being said, I have never tried to kill a deer with one myself. I just have other options available to me such as my 30-30 or 25-06.
