The GAP brass is made by Hornady and works just fine.

This has to be a first! Usually Hornady is pure junk.

Never saw an issue with Hornady brass in many calibers I have used in matches over the years. Use it in the .308, 6 and 6.5 Creed, 6ARC and .223 now and loads accurate ammo.

i reloaded a single piece of factory hornady 6gt, because i lost 1 alpha
there was no primer after i fired, and check with a gauge, the pocket was toast
i have alpha with 8 firings on it with same load. 34gr varget under a 108bt

I have a couple boxes if GAP 6GT and while it seems to shoot "okay", when priming the pockets were all over the map, some went in so light I was wondering if they would fall out. Mostly they were so mixed in pressure to seat that I'd have needed ten piles to sort by that. ES/SD were not terrible but noticeably worse than Alpha which all seated with the exact same feel. I haven't used the GAP brass since but it's fine for coyotes and varmints, losing that brass is fine.

I've got some (UK) but waiting on a new barrel so I won't be shooting it any time soon. I'm getting the feeling I've got hold of it ahead of the general release somehow.
