That is fantastic. No point in skimping on the barrel. Pretty much everything that applies to Gendels, applies to the ARC. I know a lot of folks like running 105 and 108 grainers, but I think the sweet spot for the ARC is 80-95 grainers. This is where I see the best balance between velocity and mass. I use mine on coyotes and prairie dogs running 87gr VMAX with either N135 or 2495 pushing it. Just yesterday I made an 808 yard shot on a prairie dog, I can't ask for more. I think you'll really like this round.
I am your uncle!
