45 Gap Loads

Recommended Posts

Recently started loading for the GAP. Learned a couple of things.

My load is 5.1 WSF behind a 230 FMJ, loaded to 1.155. This works in my G-37 and makes about a 165 PF. I will probably bump it up to 5.3 in the future.

The biggest surprise has been with primers. All load data says that the GAP uses a Small Pistol primer. For almost all of my cases, that is true, but I have a few Speer cases that have a LARGE primer pocket. They are nickel-plated cases.

Now for the weird part: Not ALL of the nickel-plated Speer cases are Large. Most of them are small pockets.

If i had a GAP, i would probably use titegroup with jacketed bullets to make major..

I dont have one, and probably will never get one unless they give me one at work..10 rounds in a nearly impossible to seat magazine is not what i want.
