Hard to tell without a chrono, but you’re probably under 2600fps muzzle velocity now with that load in a 20” barrel. If she was at 120yds you were around 2400fps at impact or 1790 ft/lb.
Also with the ABLR I always see the most damage on entry with the exit being the small hole when I shot them out of my 308 pushing a 168g around 2850fps.
Anyway looks like the bullet performed as designed. A 6.5CM is already on the ragged edge for me velocity wise with a 24”. If you’re wanting more consistent knock down you’re going to need high shoulder shots or a larger caliber.
