You may need better shocks in that rig after loading them up!

I've been shooting a 6.8SPC for a long time now from the early days with no ammo data to go by (all hand loads) when it was first under Mil trials. What bullet/ammo you using?

Those 120's out of a 20" 6.8 are wicked and shoot fairly flat. I think they penetrait a third more than the Vmax.

As they should. VMax is a frangible "varmint" bullet. The SST is more of a "big game" hunting bullet. I've been runnin SST's in most everything for years. They perform very well and are usually very accurate once dialed in for the firearm.
"Flat shooting" is a marketing term. Unless it's a laser, they all shoot in a parabolic curve.
