I have a 5 Shot 45 Conversion on a Ruger Bisley, which gives me gobs of length to work with. I am going to have a long nose bullet mold made up to take advantage of it (probably from Accurate or Mountain Molds).
Something like a 0.530" nose, which still gives me 0.060" fudge factor, and a 75% meplat...big but not too big (hopefully). I already have 325 LFN and 350 LFNGC molds, so I was thinking along the lines of a 340ish with a GC. I know it won't penetrate like the 350, but should hit really hard, have a bit less recoil than the 350 and less pressure than either the 325 or 350 with their 0.500" noses. Since the mold will likely be from Accurate, I will get a 3 holer and have 2 bored for the 270 Keith and the last for this one. I will use the 270 for 90% of my shooting anyway, as it will work well in my factory Bisley too.
The biggest worries around the woods here are black bears and the occasional moose, and I think it would do just fine on either. Good for backup and table meat.
Thoughts?
