Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
The data sheet I got with the BR5 I have says 5.4 gets you 1100+-. that may vary lot to lot. I load 5.6 with the 124gr JHP at 1.140 OAL here in the desert and have no issues in the CZ75 or the BHP. I use either Win of Fiocchi SP primers.
