The 6.8 in a spec 2 chamber should be able to launch a .277 110 grain bullet at up to 2700 fps. This will deliver about 1250 foot lbs of energy at 200 yards, 1000 at 300, and 800 at 400 according, to my Sierra software......great splatter indeed!!
After I've put the first 100 rounds through the barrel, I'll start my load development, including chronoing the speeds I'm getting.
