GAP range report

[18Echo]

Took me a while to get around to photo's, but now that I have....

Took my GAP Rock to the range for load development the other day after a previous barrel break in trip.

Target was at 100 yds, 5 shot groups.

Looks like the sweet spots are 43.5, 44.5 (one flyer that was probably my fault), and 45.7grs.

I just loaded another 15 rounds per of the above loads to see which one is THE spot for me. Unfortunately I don't have a Chrono so I don't know what my velocities are.

Go over to 6mmBR and print yourself sdome real targets. It will help with the groups by having a good point of hold. The number 6 target looks real good. Looks like a low .2 to me. Get the targets there free and you will thank me. Lee

Looks good. My 308s like the same loads with 175s, Varget and Win Brass- 43.5 and 44.5. 43.5= 2670 FPS via 25" tube, 44.5= 2735 via 25" tube.

Unless you had them specifically chamber it for 175's, you might want to give the Lapua 155's a try as well. Looks great!

44.5 looks like a winner to me, and its not far off from the load I use in my GAP rifle for the 175 (44.8gr)

Re: GAP range report

I would load the 45.0 charge again and try that also. It is surprising to me that it was not a clear winner. That is usually a great load for just about any gun.
