This is the main reason for the arbitrary power difference between bolt actions and DMRs (why would most people use a bolt action when you could shoot just as far with a semi locked DMR?).
I've seen sites which have the same 2.32J limit and MEDs for DMRs and bolt actions, which seems very strange.
My local has a 1.88J limit for DMRs, which I actually think is a bit high considering how useful I think it will be at that site. It's a narrow site and a lot of the games end up as standoffs with BBs falling just short. I'll see how it works, but might even agitate to have the power limit lowered.
I have to admit that my new effort is a bit of a Frankengun, being an M933 carbine with a 7" barrel extension on it. I've got a solid stock on the way from China, and will be running short mags. Or rather, short mag, since cheap stubbies are out of stock and I'm not paying £12 and up for what's left on the market at the moment.
