Took the Achilles to the Range This Morning

by JimT, Texas, Tuesday, July 16, 2024, 14:20 (53 days ago)

I had a box of loaded ammo with mixed bullets ... some the original Bittner Bullet ... some the Huffaker Bullet and 3 with the Killebrew Bullet. All were loaded with 6.0 gr. Bullseye and I wanted to shoot them up so I could reload the brass. I also took a box loaded with the Huffaker Bullet over 6.6 gr. of Unique.

I only had 3 rounds with the Killebrew Bullet with me. They are an accurate bullet as I found in previous shooting.
