Ah...
I'm used to seeing that as ft-lb, or better yet Joules.
With my 34gr slugs, I don't think I could hit 110 without exploding the rifle.

Thinking about this, that's the energy of a "standard velocity" rimfire round (subsonic). High velocity rounds would exceed that. So I wonder if they're also going to restrict high velocity rounds this season (they were allowed in the 2025 season). The 2026 rules have not been published quite yet, but we got a preview of the changes during the live show last night.
Honestly though, you would shoot a high velocity round at your own detriment. They are not very accurate to distance.
