Hey guys I wanted to say that I ordered my first Gas gun and its been over a year of research and reading this forum daily and soaking up all the great info from all of you. This will be for hunting Hogs, Axis Deer and Mouflon sheep we have hear in Hawaii. We have elevations from sea level all the wayup to 10,000 ft so I went with a short compact precision light package in a 308.
I would like some info on chamber specs and neck size of the chamber.I did email Mel for info today but will also ask it here. Its a 10 twist but i will be using no heavier then 150 gr bullets. Its what JP has in there 308 so I will have to do what I can for the best accuracy in this twist. I went with a 16'' because I want to keep the weight down as much as possible.
What are you guys running in powders and light bullets for this short barrel and does JP throat there chambers short so there is not too much jump to the lands. Totally different ballgame to my precision Bolt guns and I only hand load and will not be using factory loads. I do understand the difference I will be loading for a gas gun and would like to hear from you guys that are using lighter bullets.Im looking forward to this new rifle and what I can squeeze out of it for the most accuracy.
