 Accuracy and trajectory are the greater issues, if you can keep them all in the kill zone at 100 they will do the job.
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.

60 grs. should but why not try bumping it up in 5 gr. incriments.  Unless you are recoil sensitive, I would try to use 75 to 85 grs. for that size bullet.  The 60 grs. is a bit low for my taste.  Give a try.
