Range report from with my GAP-10 in 6mm Creed

[kritos666]

As this was my 1st wildcat and ive only been reloading for a few years, it took me a bit. However I think I have a winner.

I'm shooting 41.2 grs. of RE-17 with 105 hornady match bullets. getting 3031 for muzzle velocity.

to tell you the truth, anything at less than 800 yards seems like cheating. HOLY SHIT this gun shoots better than me.

I shot the best day to date. Attached are the results. all shot from 800 yards.

conditions were varied as usual. Ill discuss the 800 (pulling it out @ random)
58 deg., 65% hum. full value wind 8MPH (gusting to 12 and

calculator called for 16MOA elev and 4, however actual values turned out to be 19elev and 10wind

I had 3 steel targets up 6, 12, 18" steel; and a 6" piece of lucite from work (long story)

I shot at the 18 to see where I was hitting. Got a good group and moved on to the lucite. See the attached images.

Then I started shooting the Lucite, .. The wind drove my shot down a few inches, and it hit the dirt. Inadvertantly this setup my best shot to date. Now the lucite disk was on its side 1-2" visible. My spotter could see, it I barely could. I decided to go for it. I gave myself 5 shots. (Then we were going to bail and go to 1k) I got it on the 4th shot. At that point I decided I was done at that range.

Lucky, likely. But I did hit the ground just under it... so Id say not too bad for a civilian

Congrats on a bad ass rifle and good shooting! Now, what the hell is Lucite? I thought that was ice before reading the rest of your post...

Its plexiglass.

 

[kritos666]

yea,.. its lucite. I got it as a "thank you" from my job, while all the sales guys got bonuses.

You can say there will be much satisfaction as I put that up on my desk } (thats my evil smile)

I can't wait for someone to ask what happened to it

How does it feed, I am thing of getting a GAP 10 in 6mm Creedmoor over a 260 or 6.5 Creedmoor.

Welcome to the 6mm Creedmoor club! Awesome shooting Kritos!

Capt. Academy,

My 6mm Creedmoor feeds fine.

Great! Having a 6 Creedmoor bolt gun built now. Gap 10 next.

Well to be honest, I can be a bit moody sometimes. I did take the mag that came with it and cut it down to a 10rnd mag. I may have cut the spring too short. For me.. 5 rnds is a full mag. I may have to just go back to the 20rnd mag.

I looked at exactly those calibers. I have NEVER looked back. I swear this thing is a cheater gun... out to 800m/900yrds .. its just easy if you do your part. Wildcats can be a pain reload wise until you figure it out... this was my 1st. But, once done, OMG its so awesome!
