More 480 Achilles
Yesterday I continued testing the Killebrew bullet in the 480 Achilles. The last loads I used were with 12 gr. 2400 for around 870 fps. Yesterday I was using a heavy load (for this gun) of WC820 .. Military Surplus H110. These loads were closer to 960 fps and are as heavy as I want to try.
I shot using a two-hand hold on a pistol rest that was sitting on the hood of my truck.

Re: More 480 Achilles
That is some fine shootin' Jim. Guess I need to find a heeled bullet mold for 41 Colt 'cause the 480 seems to really like that bullet.

Re: More 480 Achilles
This week I was digging for something else - and look what turned up. The original 480 Achilles Bitner Bullet you gave me way back when.

Re: More 480 Achilles
I have shot targets for many years using about a 1" square at 25 yards.
It looks a bit smaller than the standard Ruger front sight and you can tell if you are off to one side or the other.
These days with my old eyes I have to go to the range early in morning and use a bay that has the sun behind me.
If it ain't too durn bright I can actually see the targets fairly well .. at least until my eyes start blurring.
I think for me, getting older would not be so bad if I could just see as well as I did when I was 28.
Alas .........

Re: More 480 Achilles
My vision changed at 44, started seeing multiple targets.
Re: More 480 Achilles
When I start seeing multiples I stay home, keep drinking and don't go shooting!Old Savage wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 10:54 am My vision changed at 44, started seeing multiple targets.
Re: More 480 Achilles
yeahbut, I see multiple front sights, it's a bother trying to guess which one to use !!
Re: More 480 Achilles
When I shoot red dot sights, I either use my left eye or I aim using the dot on the left of the 3 that I see with my left eye closed. Green dot sights and regular metal sights do not do that to me.

Re: More 480 Achilles
That .480 Achilles looks to be a decent cartridge. No need to justify it, and it seems to be able to pretty well show that it is certainly capable of accuracy.
