Sam in your 17 twist barrel that 480 gr bullet should be fine in all manner of conditions out to 1000 and beyond.

I have a GG postell I shoot quite often in my .44-77 and the .44-90bn It wont fit the chamber of my .44-100 Rem st. it just handles a PP.
This bullet weighs 505 gr and it is 1.433 long. I really got it for the round barreled .44-90bn and I also use it in the .44-77.
When I was at the Whittington center during the winter I shot the .44-77 using the barrel sights on that rifle and that bullet stayed on all the silhouette targets on the range. In fact I laid down 7 rams using the barrel sight with that bullet before turning on that Buffalo on the side of the hill and put 4 hits on him after finding the sights. I think he is around 1100 yards.
For the 1/19 twist the weight and length does not effect the way the rifle handles that bullet like the shape of the bullet. My 1/19 ROT will not handle a elliptical PP or a Money bullet past 600 yards but it will shoot well with a postell shaped bullet or even my 510 gr Sharps PP bullet.

Yea its kind of funny, with all the advances in design and technology available today that old Postel design just keeps on working and working. Once I got a Postel mold for my 45, I just stopped using any other bullet. It works and it works well. With that bullet I have picked up a lot of in-a-row pins for pigs, along with a few turkeys and some rams. My best guess is that I will never get a 5 in a row pin on the chickens.
On a bit of a personal note, I do feel that the first 10 in a row chicken pin for BPCR should have been gold as that is quite an accomplishment.
