I've shot our Mich deer with the 200 grain Hornady spire point at just a fraction over 2800 fps, and I can say that it is a DRT load. I didn't notice that it ruined any more meat than my 25/06 or 7MM mags do though. I think it really matters where you hit them. Large shoulder bones etc. Hit like that, the big heavy slugs do really shred the meat, but tight behind the shoulder shots seem to work great.

I bet that a CPBC 200 grain WFN GC would be great at about 2000-2100 fps, and be gentle on the shoulder at the same time.
