6.5 CM Varmint Round vs. Body Armor

Hello, my first post here on P&S. Big fan, spent the past year listening to all the content from the beginning on iTunes, and I'm only on Episode 190s so far. Loved the episodes with Doc Gary Roberts.

Anyways, I've been looking for ballistics information on the above ammunition, but have not been able to find anything online, whether it be youtube videos or other forums. I saw the 6.5 CM Varmint round online, and saw that its specs below. With the info, I have heard the saying that speed or velocity is king when it comes to beating body armor, which is why M193 is able to beat level 3 when it breaks 3100+ FPS.

Hornandy 6.5 CM 95gr Data
Muzzle
Speed - 3300 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 2297

100 yards
Speed - 3023 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 1928

200 yards
Speed - 2764 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 1612

Hornany 5.56 55gr M193 Data
Muzzle
Speed - 3240 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 1282

100 yards
Speed - 2837 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 983

200 yards
Speed - 2468 FPS
Energy (Ft/Lbs) - 744

As the data above shows, the varmint round from Hornandy has the following stats in comparison.

Weight (95gr vs 55gr) = 72% increase in weight
Speed at muzzle (3300 vs 3240) = 1.9% increase
Speed at 100 yards (3023 vs 2837) = 6.6% increase
Energy at muzzle (2297 vs 1282) = 79% increase
Energy at 100 yards (1928 vs 983) = 96% increase

So my questions for anyone here.
Can the Hornandy Varmint round penetrate level 3 body armor, similar to the M193?
Can the M193 still penetrate body armor at 100 yards? (Can't find info on this)
Can the Hornandy Varmint round penetrate body armor at 100 yards (FPS at 100 is advertised as above 3000+ FPS)?
