"Inlines are not the same as centerfires": I'll wager that many of us started our deer hunting with a cartridge like the 30-30, many inlines easily come close to it's velocity and exceed it's energy, the newer ones top both. Then you have the smokelessSavage....
My 30-30 shoots quite a bit flatter than my .50 cal. inline. The energy in the first 100-150 yards is close but beyond that there is no comparison.
