Favorite Bison Cartridge?
Whether you've hunted bison or not, what would you like to take one with? The other day on tv I saw a guy drop one with a .30-30 neck shot. Tell me your top choice, and then what would your top choice be for a 300yd shot to drop one?

.405 Winchester
Any good buffalo hunter should use a straight wall cartridge.;) |

Either my 444 Marlin or 338 RUM. but most likely the 444.

I wacked two behind the ear with a 6.5x55 but that was just an execution. I would like to hunt one with my winchester model 71 open site .348

You probably won't need to take a 300 yard shot on a bison, but if I were going to I would want at least a .338 Winchester Mag; and I'd rather have an even bigger .338-.375 magnum.Anddon't try neck shots at 300 yards.

I would probably use a .338 win. mag. I have heard of them being killed with .204 rugers to the neck but I am not a fan of the neck shot. Bison are tough but not that tough. If a cape buffalo can be killed with a .338 and American Bison doesn't stand a chance.

RE: Favorite Bison Cartridge?
45-70, I'm a nostalgic guy when it comes to hunting bison, Id like to do it old school. I wouldn't shoot at one out past the effective range of my 45-70, but for arguments sake Id use my 30-06 loaded with 200gr Barnes TSXs.
