It has been rainy today so I loaded 480 Achilles ammo

I was gonna mow the property but the grass was wet and it started raining about the time I was getting the mower going so I gave it up and spent time in the shop, loading 480 Achilles ammo. I had shot up some mixed ammo last week and got the brass ready to load. I decided to use the Hollow-Base Heel bullet by Huffaker over 7.0 gr. of Unique. The hollow base bullet reduces pressures when compared to the solid base bullet. With 7.0 gr. of Unique the hollow base bullet load produces the same velocity as 6.5 gr. of Unique does with the solid base bullet ... 850 fps.

Looking forward to a range report!

We could use some rain here as well, it's been a drier than usual year here in Coffee Country.

Wetter and cooler than usual here.

It was in the 70's all day today. Raining and thundering again tonight. We usually don't get rains like this in July. Supposed to have rain every day this week all through Saturday.
