    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Thank you that was very helpful, I've worked in the IT sector for the vast majority of my career so computers and technology are part of my DNA, so it wasn't that I was scared of the product. Its just that the level of questioning and software updates, apparent lack of a solid manual made me a...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Interesting perspective, its threads like this that make me think either A its way to complicated, B its not quite ready for prime time in terms of software or C I may not be as smart as I thought I was :)

    To Break-in or Not Break-in (barrel)

    I got my GAP10 about 6 months ago and broke it in at a Ronin Strategies Precision rifle course. I just started shooting and 400 rounds later it still shoots one ragged hole at 100 yards.

    Suppressor increasing group size?

    Trevor, don't give up my GAP10 shoots one little ragged hole at 100yds with or without my AAC SDN6, I rarely shoot the rifle without it.

    Glass for upcoming GAP10...

    I put a bushnell xrs on mine to hold me over until the beast was available. The bushnell is so nice I'm going to stick with it, I am really impressed with it and the rifle.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hi-Cap .45 anything wrong with a P14-1911?

    Interesting, I have had 4 paraordnance's and none of them presented reliability concerns for me. Two of which I used competitively so they saw a lot of rounds down the pipe

    Suppressors Any reason no to go with the Thunderbeast 338BA (vs the 30BA)?

    I bought the 30BA and figure I will use that for a while then add a .338 when I actually need one. I figure there is plenty of time before I add a .338 and don't mind adding to my collection of suppressors. Its always nice to be able to shoot more than one suppressed gun at a time when with...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best 308 Factory ammo?

    Sorry when I said falls apart I meant inconsistent groups and wide spreads. As mentioned above I have been told it is due to the bullet going transonic around 700 yds or so, I actually think it happens beyond 700 yds because I can get consistent hits out to 700 with the round but that's just my...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best 308 Factory ammo?

    175 gr federal gold medal match seems to be the gold standard. I have great results with the 168 federal match but it falls apart around 700 yds

    GAP10 owners dont use fgmm 168 grain

    I got a gap10 a few months ago, I had never shot long range or for accuracy before, I'm a novice. The first day out I was shooting 1/2 moa repeatedly. Zeroing at 100 yds made me giggle the rounds all went into one ragged whole. It is an amazing piece of machinery!

    Hits at 1000...so elusive?

    My guess is that the round is transonic at that range and the trajectory can be real weird when that happens. I have very similar issues pas 700 yds or so with 308 rounds at 2670 fps. To go past 700 yds or so I need to run 175 grain bullets, I am guessing that a heavier round will help you too.

    talk me out of...or into...an ACR

    And that's why I bought a Scar17 instead :rolleyes:
