    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    Exactly Craka. I called and spoke with Greg from Gre-tan last night and he agreed that the firing pin and hole is probably too large. Unfortunately he can't fix it with a bushing and smaller firing pin due to the hardness of the bolt coating. He said Eugene Stoner got it right with his...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    308Junkie, I know, my old N6 and my buddy's OBR doesn't have this problem either. My whole experience with George and GAP from order to delivery was one miserable experience after another. I have a saved e-mail chain from Dustin that would make your blood boil. I almost turned around and sold...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    Just an update guys. I did hear back from George today via a voicemail left on my phone. Basically he said I'll just have to live with it and that cratered primers are just part of owning a gas gun. He did not recommend going with a smaller firing pin and bushing the bolt due to "reliability...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    Sorry to hear about your MA TEN troubles, but it's good to know I'm not alone. I've been stockpiling FGMM for two years now in anticipation of this rifle. Yes I can reload my own, but in my mind, a rifle should be able to fire quality factory ammo without issue. Not upset, just saying.

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    sic65stang, Thanks for the reloading info. I've pretty much scrapped the few reloads I had put together thus far. I was able to pick up some CCI BR2's at my local honey hole of the a gun shop the other day. I won't start reloading again until I get this factory ammo pierced primer issue...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    I originally started a thread in the reloading section about the results of my ladder test with some of my reloads, but it sort of turned into a thread about issues I've been having with pierced primers and my 308 GAP-10. Original thread here...

    Ladder Test Results

    No chamfer around the firing pin hole, but you can see how the firing pin is starting to erode due to the blow back of the pierced primers. Remind you, most of pierced primers have come from one lot of factory FGMM ammo, not my reloads. Although I do admit my reloads are not helping to...

    Ladder Test Results

    Thanks for the offer NoFail, but I may have a lead on some regular primers here locally. As far as brass goes, I have a shit ton of Federal stuff I shot out of my Noveske N6 before I got my GAP. I'm not in love with it, it's just what shot over the years before I got into reloading. I start...

    Ladder Test Results

    After firing about 200 rounds of new factory FGMM ammo, and using the Sinclair bump gage, I found the average head to shoulder measurement to be 1.5615". I use this dimension as my headspace measurement. From the 1.5615", I bump the shoulder back .002" to 1.5595". I am using Redding Type S FL...

    Ladder Test Results

    Did my first ladder test yesterday for my 308 GAP-10 and I'm a little confused with the results. My recipe is as follows: Federal once fired brass (full length re-size, shoulder bumped back .002) Federal GM215M primers (using magnum primers b/c that what I could get my hand on) 175gr SMK's...

    Saying Goodbye

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I really appreciate it. The vet was nice enough to come to the house to do it so she could be comfortable. Still one of the worst days of my life. Again, thanks for the support.

    What do you guys carry your GAP10 / AR10 in?

    I also run a Voodoo Tactical double drag bag and find it to be a great piece of kit that doesn't break the bank.

    .308 Trim before or after sizing?

    Good question Kwak, despite what others may think. I just measured my GAP-10 (308) chamber lenght using the Sinclair tool and it came out to be 2.045". I was wondering if this sounds about right? Thanks to all those "experts" will to help out a new reloader.

    Ejector Marks

    Re: Ejector Marks I have about 800 rounds of 175gr FGGM on hand and another 420 spent cases cleaned and ready to go once my press gets here. I'm not in love with Federal brass, it's just what I saved last year before getting into reloading this year. During my reloading research I did read...
