Oddly enough I was getting 1.25" groups with them. They're going to need 1 in 7 or 1 in 6.5 to fully stabilize. At this point I don't believe they're going to produce them, but there may be a possibility of small batches for guys with faster twist barrels.
Interesting that you seemed to find a correlation between barrel length and stability too. People say it's twist rate vs. velocity, but there is more to it. Unless of course your 10.5 has a slightly slower twist, say 8.25. My best subsonic group so far with my 10" barrel has been 5 220 Prohunters into an inch. Funny thing is, they were 'taildragging' too.
