Go to load for Gap-10

[Hannibalsnipes]

I'm doing load development for my GAP-10 and am having a hard time finding a load that produces good results. I would appreciate input from GAP-10 owners on what components they use; bullet weight, powder weight, and OAL.

So far I've been using Lake City brass, 175 grain SMK, and Varget. I've done a wide range of powder weights with the Varget as well.

Thanks as always,

BOOOM Half MOA load. And awesome out to 800yards out of a 16" barrel.

Thank you, I'll get some loaded and try that out. That's a pretty hot load. Are you seeing any powder burns through the primer?

I was shooting that load, with moly, over the weekend out of an AR10 and it worked quite well.

Poison, don't know what I was thinking in my earlier post. 44 is not that hot. For whatever eason it registered as 44.4 in my head when I read it. Thanks again
