Default Round ball effectiveness?

Hi everybody we just recently bought my dad a percussion hawkins rifle from cabelas. He shoots 70 grs of triple seven and hornady .490 round balls. He is getting good accuracy but I was wondering what the effective lethal range on a whitetail would be? And how far to expect one to run after being hit? and if anyone has ever shot a deer using round ball ammunition would you mind letting me know what the results were like?
