yep, 200 of those fps's can be attributed to the 5C barrel, they're just fast! stick to the 105's of whichever shoots the best jeep, BC will outrun velocity every time.
Just ran the numbers from 300 yard zero, your only 3.75 MOA low @500 and 17.25 MOA low @1K, almost mirrors the trajectory of my 7mm Allen. GIT'ER DONE!

So far they shoot alright, a little under an 1" at 100. I need to try them at 200 more to see how they group. I think I need to push them into the lands a little more. I've shot some 95gr BT's (fireform) into the .2's, so I know the gun is plenty accurate. The 115gr Bergers shoot the same POI and group size as the 105's, also Richard Graves is going to get me some 115's to try out. Then its off the the 600 yard range!!!
