If your rifle won't shoot that load, sell it.
That's a pretty good combination, but unless the chamber has a short, pressure raising throat and a long barrel thereafter it isn't going to show 2700 fps over a reliable chronograph. This opinion is based on having shot thousands of 168 grain bullets loaded in M852 and M118 Lake City match cases with 42.2 grains of IMR4895 duplicating the old M852 match load specification. The rifles were from Steyr, Ruger, Remington and Kimber with barrel lengths from 20" to 26".
