That is a 100 yard load but of course we all want closer then that. As for how far the deer will run.. that will all depend on where that ball is placed. Neck shots plant them, but are risky at best. Head shots, the same as a neck shot. Heart and lung will kill them without doubt. I have had then run from nothing to almost fifty yards. It also depends on the deer. Some are in alert or flight mode and it seems when you shoot them, they can really put some distance under them.

I have used roundball for many years. A roundball in the right place is all that you will need. Those Cabela's are nice rifles.
