Looking at Remington factory ammo data, they have 80, 95 and 100 grain bullet options. All would be appropriate for shooting coues deer. Based on
Remington's ballistics, it looks like you can shoot all of them out to 300+ yards.
If you were to reload for your rifle, you could probably develop a load with 400+ capability.

First off you can only shoot as far as he is capable of...practice practice and then when your all done...practice some more. Energy don't mean squat if your not puttin it where it is supposed to be.
Put your numbers in a ballistic program. I'll run out to where I hit 850-900 lbs of energy (minumim!). Based on your speed and bullet his will vary. Be sure to use the correct bullet for your application also.
If you can get a Berger 115 VLD up to 3000 fps, you can get to 750 yds or so with that bullet's effective range. RL17 will help you get there and likely more if your rilfe favors it.
From my 243 with a short barrel I can push a 95gr NBT to 3050 with H4350 and keep accuracy. For me, 600 is as far as I'll go. I'm very comfortable to 400 and would start really thinking things through before going into the 400-600 yard range. But that is ability as much as effectiveness.
I would look at the NBT's, A-max's and Bergers for your best long range performance.
