Lacking proper bullets.....
has hampered the use of mine but i have improvised with the Lee 325 gr., both using the gas check shank as a heel and loading it backwards.....the latest experiment has been a duplex projectile load of sorts with a .454" ball loaded over 13.5 gr. 2400 and fiber wad pushing out a .490" ball seated in the mouths with an arbor press in the manner of a cap-n-ball revolver.....if 318 grs. total weight over 13.5 grs. 2400 sounds too warm, keep in mind my achilles is built on a new model ruger.....the inhibiting factor in thoroughly enjoying my achilles, apart from not having the proper bullets is the question of how if ever i can replace the 2400 used.....
