Default Question re: son's youth Rossi setup

I bought my son a Rossi youth 50 cal and shot it for the first time this weekend. I was amazed. After sighting in on Saturday we went back out on Sunday to shoot again. At 50 yards I shot twice and he shot once and all three shots were touching the bull. We did the same thing at 100 yards and had a 1 3/8" group. This little $175 gun grouped better than my Knight! We shot 60 grains of pyrodex pellets and a 240 grain bullet. Does anyone know ballistics on this setup? I was wondering if there would be plenty of kinetic energy to take whitetails out to 100 yards. We hope to get him a chance at his first deer this year. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all.
