These velocities and a ballistic computer will give you an idea how much velocity youll have left at 600 yards from different barrel lengths.
The Hornady calculator gives these values for 123gr ELD-M:
2000fps (7.5"): 400yd: 1359fps, 500yd: 1217fps, 600yd: 1092fps
2100fps (8.5"): 400yd: 1444fps, 500yd: 1297fps, 600yd: 1159fps
