Default 7mm08 120 gr Hornady SST?

Thanks to help on this board, my wife is now the proud owner of a 7mm08 from TC. We are booked for mule deer/antelope this October in Wyoming, time to find the projectiles!

I picked up two boxes of Hornady 120 SST Custom Lite today.

Ballistics on the web say:

Muzzle: 2675 fps/1907 foot pounds
200 yards: 2207 fps/1298 foot pounds

Will this be a good choice for off the shell for up to mule deer? I am much more knowledgeable with archery than ballistics matching to big game, all help would be appreciated as I learn.

The VAST majority of off the shelf choices are 140 grain, so I just want to make sure these will work! Heck Remington coreloks don't even come in anything but 140.

Reloading isn't an option for us.
