I would think anywhere from 1000 to 1200 fps. with that bullet would handle anything anywhere.
Having said that, I had a friend back in high school whose dad had all kinds of wonderful rifles in big calibers like 416 rigby, 45/70, 458 win. mag.
My friend would hand load them with big, heavy bullets for caliber, to the point that when you shot at the target....whoever got up first(you or the target...won!)
For some reason it was great fun back then, even though neither of us weighed over 150 lbs. soaking wet lol.
I didn't re- load back then and knew nothing about it, so i never questioned his loads...the angels probably watched over us back then!
