A Sunday Afternoon ....

spent loading ammo for the 480 Achilles. I had taken it to The Shootists Holiday and let other folks shoot it whenever they wished. I had cleaned, deprimed, sized, neck expanded and primed the cases but just had never gotten around to loading them. Today was a good day for it.

The Bittner bullet (original 480 Achilles) 290 gr. with 6.0 gr. Unique.

The last of my powder coated experiment loaded with 6.0 gr. Unique.

These are all 750 to 850 fps loads. Fun stuff.
