Most bullets are designed to expand down to about 1800fps. I had a 11" 250 savage contender that got 2400fps w/ 100gr Nosler ballistic tip that took game out to over 200yds with that particular load. I also had a 270 jdj that got 2300fps w/ a 130gr ballistic tip that took game to 300yds. Now I have hunted w/ the 6.8spc for the last 12 years, taking game cleanly out to 300yds, but using the 11ogr v-max hornady load. I feel that if you stick w/ bullets designed for the 6.8spc and not the 270 win, you should be fine. Just try to keep your impact velocity above 1800fps and you should be fine.
