This is just a WAG based on ballistic trying, but 2640fps from a 24" tikka 7RM w/ 168 Federal Berger Hybrid Hunters. That's 80 deg and 5300' elev.

How’s the accuracy with that Norma ammo Txx?
They do well in my Tikka. Here are 20 rounds at 100 yds that I put through it pretty quickly.

A week later I shot 5 rounds in a sub moa group at 500 yds.

Shot this pig the same weekend around 150 yds

Buddies 24" CTR was shooting the factory precision hunter 143s at right around 2600 FPS this summer. Barrel probably had 500-700 rounds on it at this point.
