    AIAE OCW test results

    Update I've been working to perfect my load for my AE MKIII and thought I'd share some more of my results. After Dan told me to concentrate on more toward the lower end of my original OCW test, I ran a second OCW test using charges between 42.0 and 44.1gr seen in the pic with the yellow...

    Ready to order AI AE MKIII 308

    I just received my AE MKIII from Mile High about two months ago and can't say enough good things about them or the rifle. I'm probably the odd man out here because I went with the 1/12, 20", braked barrel. I have a Thunderbeast 30BA suppressor on the way and my plan is to replace the AI brake...

    AIAE OCW test results

    I was keeping a real close eye on brass and primers the whole time. Trust me, after my GAP-10 experience, I know what to look for. I did load up some 45.3's last night for my next test, but maybe I'll just go ahead and pull those. Thanks for all the input.

    AIAE OCW test results

    Thanks Dan, I'm going to run the test again, this time focusing more on lower end of the charge weights. I just always see Varget recipes in the 44.0 to 45.0 weight range, so I assumed thats where mine would fall. I hear you on the Federal brass, but thats all I have until some Winchester...

    Are semi auto rifles harder to shoot?

    I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but I spent the past two years learning to shoot long range using semi's (N6 & GAP-10) because semi's were/are all the rage. Now that I have my AE MKIII, I wish I would have started with a bolt gun to begin with. The fundamentals just come a...

    GAP-10 6.5 CM-- heavy cratering, heavy swipes, and 2 pierced primers with factory ammo

    I went through this same issue with my GAP-10 308. I can already tell you what GAP is going to say. However I hope the OP can prove me wrong. In all sincerity, good luck Kiba. Oh yeah, be sure to check your bolt for the small pieces of primer from the pierced primers. They will collect...

    Federal GMM issues in a semi auto 308?

    Good choice on the SCAR 17. I have a SCAR 16 that I absolutely love. The only other ammo I shot thru the GAP was one box or Hornady Super Performance Match and a few reloads. All had problems. I only owned the rifle January thru March of this year, so I couldn't find a lot of other ammo...

    Federal GMM issues in a semi auto 308?

    Yes, FGMM shot excellent in terms of groups in both my GAP-10 and my N6. Not being able to shoot my large surplus of FGMM was one of the contributing factors in selling my GAP. Just a word of caution. Keep a close eye on your firing pin. The hot gasses from the blown primers will damage...

    Federal GMM issues in a semi auto 308?

    I just went through this same issue with blown/cratered primers and my GAP-10. I sent a 100 rounds of the same lot of FGMM back to Federal this past February. They tested all the ammo and it tested good with an average pressure in the 56,000 psi range. They even replace all the ammo I had...

    puzzled on case resizing and neck setback.

    Sorry Flight, slight case of dyslexia. I meant to say my cases measure 1.5615" using my Mitutoyo caliper which measures to 4 decimal places. Sorry for the confusion.

    puzzled on case resizing and neck setback.

    Wayne, I have the Sinclair bump guage, and when I zero it out on my calipers and then measure a fired 308 case from my gas gun, it usually measures around 1.516". I believe the Sinclair gage measures to the shoulder and not the datum line of the case. Anyone else want to confirm this?

    Rifle Scopes Brobo Mount

    I have one for my USO SN-4 and its been great. Now that they have a canted version I may pick one up for my SN-3. Does anyone know if a TPAL body with an EREK knob will fit between the rings?

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    At this point I'm done. Life is just too short to put up with all this nonsense. I say this because even if I get this issue figured out, the gun will still have to go back to them once I get my supressor so they can "tune it". So if someone is willing to deal with all this BS, feel free to...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    10 minutes ago Ken told me you were unavailable and at a funeral. This is what it takes to get a response out of you. Wow!

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    Hannibalsnipes. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I thought I was the only one they treated this way. So after reading your post I called GAP and read Ken the riot act. Ken said I would have to continue working with George and that George way away at a funeral. I told Ken that...
