Went to the Range today with the 480 Achilles ... shooting some of John Killebrew's new bullet for the Achilles ..

LEFT - the original Bittner Bullet RIGHT - the Killebrew Bullet

The Killebrew Bullet has deeper grease grooves and more of a taper on the nose. Shooting them today at 870 fps (more or less) the barrel stayed clean with no leading.

I fired these targets sitting at a table, resting my left elbow on my shooting bag.
