I hunt with a load very similar to that. Deer are pretty thin skinned, so I want rapid expansion. Deer are probably comparable to a human with a jacket and shirt on.

As for what the 1500 fps 158 grain bullet does, well not much. A lot less than a 150gr 3,000 fps out of a 30.06 does! Kinetic energy is alive and well in my world.
