Speed seems right, accuracy...bummer. Appears your BA barrel does not like it.

1.09" group out of an AR (no matter the barrel) is not bad.... sure, it could be better but, I would not call it bad at all.

We don't have a SW in Oklahoma, but I've been watching the SW website for a while. I signed up for an e-mail notification when it was in stock, haven't received an e-mail yet, but I check the website every couple of weeks anyway. Bingo! Just now checked the website, it shows it in stock. I ordered 2 boxes on line, it let me proceed all the way thru checkout and gave me a order number, so hopefully the order will be processed!?!?
Any of the 6.5 Gr Hornady around here runs $22-$23 a box, black or red, plus local & state tax, I'm up to ~$1.20-$1.25 per round. To get 400 rds at $0.70 per round, plus free shipping and no tax, I'm pumped! I'll eventually reload, once I accumulate enough brass, I've already purchased dies, etc., but this is great!

Yea for some reason I do not get the email notifications either... even checked my spam.
I order 2 cans of the American Gunner every time I see it in stock.
You can actually fit 400 rounds in each plastic can, then I put my Hornady Black in the other cans that I empty.― George Orwell

I mentioned in another thread the cans seemed tougher than the cheap Cabelas versions due to this; I had the Cabelas open up on me in the store and spill the 10 boxes of ammo out...

I got an email notification and checked website, it showed in stock. I wasn't sure about the ammo so held off till end of day. It was still in stock so I ordered some to try.
Got to end of checkout and it voided it, saying not in stock. Emptied cart and checked website, yep, oos. Checked about an hour later, showed in stock again, so I ordered. This time I completed checkout and got confirmation email, got my tracking number a bit later.
Stuff must go out the door fast!
