I think I found a good load for my GAP-10

[SWThomas]

I shot this a couple weeks ago with my GAP-10 chambered in 308. All of my groups were pretty tight but this one was by far the tightest. This is a 5-shot group fired at 100 yards. It measured 0.172 center-to-center.

The load was: 168g AMAX, freshly annealed Lapua brass, CCI 200 primers, 44.0g Varget, and a COAL of 2.810. All were fed from the magazine. The average MV was 2621.

Sweet!!!!!! Cann't get much better than that.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing the load data.

That load is great in LC brass too with tula primers. Every 308 ive shot it in loved it.

I luvzmesum threads like this.

Details on scope, rest,...

Shoot-N-C targets are my absolute favorite with red dot optics.

Again, well done.

Were any of the rounds chambered by releasing the bolt catch or charging handle?

I have a similar rifle, and am curious if this is affecting my groups as well...

I've seen it with first round fliers from gas guns which is why I'm curious here in this thread.

The rifle has an 18" barrel and no longer has the muzzle brake. It's didn't have it when I shot this group. This was shot at 100 yards with a Cauldwell Rock on the front and a bag in the back. The scope is a Vortex Viper PST 4-16X50 FFP MRAD.

The first one was stripped off the mag by pressing the bolt release. The other four were fed from the mag during firing.

Excellent and thanks. You've got a great rifle there.

Thank you! I'm very pleased with it and the gentlemen who built it.

I have an almost identical load except with 168 SMK's, same result.

I tried the load in my DPMS LR308 with Winchester brass and it shoots clover leaf groups.... Very nice. Thanks.

I have a GAP-10 in .308 as well and I am shooting the factory Hornady 168 grain AMAX / TAP in the Red box marked Law Enforcement Ammunition. I am getting 1/4" groups at 100 yards, under 1/2" groups at 200 yards and 3/4" groups at 300 yards. All 5 shot groups. My GAP-10 really likes this ammo too. This is the only stuff that I have shot thru my GAP-10 and I am Lucky that it likes it as I purchased 1000 rounds of this stuff prior to getting this weapon.

Nice shooting and another damn good looking GAP-10!
