Not many informative posts yet on Prime Ammo 130G performance in 6.5C AR's, specifically FPS achieved in specific barrel lengths. In the process of completing an upper w/BA 20" and looking for stats on Prime's performance in AR's. Please post what you've experienced.
 
I don't have a chrono so I can't give you velocity data but I tried a case of it through my GAP-10 (20" 1:8.25) and it didn't like it that much. I was lucky to get a 5 shot group under 1". I had much better luck with Hornady 140gr ELD Match in my rifle. Closer to .50" consistently.

I just shot my Aero Precision builder kit with BA 20" Barrel and Varminter 3.0 (Mack Bros) suppressor with Prime 130 gr. ammo today and the groups made me very happy!!
