Yes I had to have the thoats reamed early on so the 330gr.WFNGC would fit.Take a look on the Bragging Board to see what the 45LC Bisley Hunter can do in Africa.I used the Punch bullet on the Wildebeest total pass thru.

I had meant to address this question to Hawkeye...

It sounds like yours is a 45 Colt as well? Have you reamed the throats? It made a big difference on both of my 45 Rugers. You could also try bumping up the load. 21gr H110 is Hogdon max load for a 360gr Cast Performance. 21 for the 300 seems a little light.

BisleyBud, wow. Nice job there on the handgun hunts. That gets me pretty excited. I guess I didn't realize (or remember) that you have one of the 279 45 Colt Bisley Hunters as well! Hopefully I can get on black bear this spring and moose in the fall. Maybe someday I'll talk myself in to going after Dall Sheep with a handgun. But, it's usually 7-10 days walkin with a heavy pack and if I see a nice ram at 300+ yds that may be the only shot I get! I've got one with a rifle and that was at 400+yds. If I get another one maybe I'll try a Sheep handgun hunt. But for now this newbie will go for bear and moose.
