    No, I didnt have time to set up my Chronograph. If it is sunny tomorrow I might get out and set it up.

      I have not had alot of luck with boxed ammo in this barrel. Handloads shoot great, but boxed ammo has been very hit or miss.

        I just shot my Hornady ELD match. It's 30 degrees here wind almost 0 . I had exellent results . The powder may be different because I shot 1" high at 100yds and 3" high @200yds compared to the Hornady 123 Amax ammo shot at the same shooting session. At 100 yds I shot 0.73" and at 200yds I shot 0.97". That's right less than an inch at 200yds . My Lilja AR24 (23") shoots better at 200yds than 100yds .I guess the projectile stabilizes better past 100yds. My daughters Howa mini shot these 1.1" @100yds with a 1-6x24 scope , so I could probably squeeze it a bit tighter with a better scope . Overall I'm very pleased with the results. I get 0.75" - 1.0" with 123gr Amax factory ammo. I found my new ammo that shoots best in my barrel .

          Shoots bad for one, great for another. Barrels continue to insist upon being individuals, and as temperamental as . . . well, THEY know who they are.

                  I know! I'm tempted to buy some more (just got 200 from Midway). It's a shame I ordered from Midway so soon...now they've got free shipping on orders over $150 (just two days after I ordered haha)

                  I wanted to try shooting some this past Sunday, but it was so windy I didn't figure it would be a good representation of what they can do. I hope to get some velocity data on them this coming week

                        I've got 5 boxes on order from Bud's and will probably order another 5 boxes next month. Didn't take me long to figure out buying this ammo is much cheaper than the initial purchase of brass and bullets for loading.

                            Vizard has it now for $16.79/box $14.75 flat shipping to AZ.

                            I may be getting the cart before the horse since I don't have a Grendel upper yet but I ordered 300 rounds. Hope it shoots well.

                              My 20" Odin Works seems to like this Black Ammo, 5 shots each target, And I rushed and pulled 2 on the lower right target. My fault.
