Accuracy was so so. Since this was my first session with the gun I used it to sight in while chronographing. So I was not expecting GREAT groups with the limited number of loads. Now that I see the loads produced what I expected in velocity and consistency and I was able to adjust the sights close enough without wounding the sunscreens, the next session will be with the same loads less the chrono for serious grouping. Will post results then. |

Most of us have found the 480 to be a good shooter. Good luck!

Believe that to be the factory Hornady load. In a manual here, says replicating that load takes 26.3grs of H110. YMMV.

hey Jim, how did those hornady loads extract from your gun? When I tried them in mine I had to really force them from the cylinder, I mean "I really" had to force them out. I pushed them out by using the extractor against the shooting bench.

I am getting some really good results with 300-MP, I was hoping to use HS6, but so far the 300-MP loads are winning the accuracy competition, recoil is a bit stiff, but I can deal with that. I am hoping that once I get my new mold, the HS6 loads will work better.

I pushed them out by using the extractor against the shooting bench. Mike No problem at all. What really surprised me was they were right on the button velocity wise. Also, short front sight was not a problem at 25 yards with the Hornady factorys. However, I'm having Sixshot's front sight installed as we speak. |
