I wonder how much Blackhorn209 Mark needed to get the 275gr BE to stabilize in a 45cal 1-30 twist.
Green Mountain 54-120 Brush Gun
Elite 45 blued
Original DISC 45 SS
LRH 52cal

Mark said 83gr by weight is what he used.

So, mountaineers and discs, but not so much the bighorn? So is the take-away that the bolt-action style must be inherently more accurate that the plunger type? I'm trying to decide between a bighorn and a western-action mountaineer. It would be for hunting Idaho, with full caliber all lead projectiles. Any advice?

You will benefit more from a 1:20, especially for longer ranges with heavier conicals.
Check out Buffalo Arms Co. in Idaho. Dave offers some heavy conicals in 45 under the 'reloading supply sec., under - lead, copper & jacketed bullets'.
You can call and buy a box of 50 to try for around $30.
