GIG Long Range Systems

In the early years of GIG, I happened upon a young very talented individual that had a deep passion for all things ballistic. He helped build the foundation of the business and I am forever grateful. Since then, he made a name for himself at the largest optic and rifle providers in the country. I’m happy to announce Derek Walters has branched out on his own. Please show him some love by visiting and considering him for your next level of training adventure.

The "2 and 1 Phenomena"

Those of us in the precision shooting world eventually run into the situation where multiple shots form a nice tight group then, in some random order, a “flyer” forms just outside the tight group (this assumes no known cause of the flyer). Changing every front-line system variable (bullets, powder, primers, COL, trigger pull, rest, etc., etc.) and even shooters will reproduce the same outcome, a very nice group and proportional flyers (surprisingly in the ratio of 2:1 in my experience- although not scientifically proven). Even with the flyers, groups were ½ moa. Good enough for my personal limits but most in this industry love to tinker.

A few years ago this happened to a shooting colleague and I and we were determined to find the answer. I feel we asked every professional in the business and surprisingly we lacked good answers. If you google this situation, you find a little discussion on it, but not as much is I hoped. This lasted about 1.5 years.
One can take this stuff down the rabbit hole as deep as willing and we tested a lot of combinations. In the end, it was neck tension with a splash of concentricity of bullet seating. What fixed the 2:1 problem for us we a match seater die and changing brass that had uniform neck wall thickness.

So there it is, by no means am I saying your situation may end up differently, but start here.

The first GIG accurized 50 BMG strolled out the door today. Wicked pretty.
