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.
Beautiful rifle. Any comparison between the 22 and 25 noise levels? How about shots per fill 22/25?I don't shoot competitively, so I can't say what caliber is better.
I will say I have a DRS Pro 25 700 and a DRS Classic 22 700 and both are equally accurate.
I also prefer the 25 caliber over the 22 caliber for ranges past 150 yards.
I will also say that the MDT Elite Chassis on DRS Pro is worth the money, IMHO
Especially after what some fellow members have said about the Delta Force chassis.

panthera is much easer to tune down for slower velocity and hence quiter operation and then to tune back up.If backyard PRS practice is the goal as quietly as possible, with competition being 2nd on the list, would the DRS or Panthera win out? Or some other manufacturer.
