Anyone hunted with an Acusport SS 5.5" Bisley yet?
« on: December 29, 2003, 07:42:20 AM »
I'm curious if anyone has hunted yet with one of these Limited Edition Bisleys in its .45 Colt, .44 Magnum or .41 Magnum version?  How'd you do?  What have you harvested with it?  Thanks, Dennis

How Many 5.5s were Made?

Anyone know how many Accusport 5.5s were produced?  I love mine to death.  It's a great gun.  I had a choice between the .44 and the .45 and went with the .45!  (Already have a .44 Flattop!)

I have the 45 colt version.  I had to ream the cylinder throats and get a taller front sight to get in business.  My pop liked mine so much he bought one, but his came with a taller front sight and cylinder throats 451 which was better than mine which came at 449.  We reamed them to .4525.  Our favorite load is 18.5 2400 and a 325 WFN.  THis load does 1200 FPS in our guns.  We have each killed a pig and 3 deer.  I have some good pictures of the gun on harvested animals but I don't know how to post them.
