Re: GAP Crusader
My GAP Crusader shoots the Berger 175 Match Target VLD's sub MOA at 100, 400, and 600 (haven't shot farther yet) using Lapua brass and 44.2 grains of Varget, OAL to fit in the AI mags.
NOTE: Sorry, didn't fully read your post and didn't realize you were asking about that specific combo.

Re: GAP Crusader
Ask the same question, but with Varget powder, and there will be dozens of answers. 4064 may be great powder, but sometimes its better to run with the crowd favorite, just because loads are easier to find.

Re: GAP Crusader
168 SMK
43.4 4064 (Max Sierra book load but no pressure signs in my GAP)
205M Primer
2.805 C.O.A.L.
So far I'm very happy with this load. Last group I shot with it was 5/8" at 200 yds. I don't know how it performs at longer ranges though because I really haven't stretches my GAPs legs yet.

Gap Crusader. 175 smk. 44.5 varget. Rem 9 1/2 lr. Lapua brass. At 2680fps. 2.815" First time I tried 1k I hit a 5" group.

175smk, 43gr Varget, CCI BR primers. 175smk stay stabile at further distances than 168grs.
