    I haven’t tried TAC but it could work, Staball match too. They’re a bit on the faster side so probably be a better match with a shorter/lighter bullet or a mono.

    With the Factory Hornady Black 105's I average 2656 FPS and a SD of 14 out of the 22" 4 Groove Bartlein, I only shot one box today so im sure it's a safe bet to say she might speed up. Next outing I'll throw a can on as well.

    Oh! And in this thread Opinions are like Titties, I want to see them all. Feel free to share your thoughts on the build or any requests.
     
    @thedude824, I can’t speak for the OP but I just purchased a B5 in the medium config but I’m sending it back. The cheek riser is to short length wise. Other than that, the stock felt well built and pretty snug on buffer tube. There isn’t much up elevation in the cheek riser though. I’m thinking about getting a long version.
