Yes indeed. At 6,100fpe, they would not be prohibited in the new Legislation - maybe in future legislation, though.
However, the way they "new" law reads, I think, is "Capable of producing 10,000joules at the muzzle.
That's only about 7,376fpe.

Same thoughts here.
I have a .500AHR (basically an "updated" .500 Jeffery) that weighs 11 1/2 lbs and it is manageable…….cannot quite wrap my head around the thought of a similar rifle at 9 1/2 lbs.
