Indians (can I say that?) killed them with bows and arrows, so a well placed 300WM will be more than ample. Good luck, hope you get drawn and have a great adventure and successful hunt.
Yes bisonYou are talking bison and not buffalo, correct? For Buffalo, the conversation starts at .375 and goes up from there. For bison, the 300 WM with Barnes TSX or TTSX will be perfect.
While I understand where you are coming from, I have a buddy who dumped his Cape Bull with one shot using his .300PRC shooting 208 Bergers.You are talking bison and not buffalo, correct?

Why does it have to be a .375 or up, Roy Weatherby killed a cape buffalo with on shot from a 257 weatherbyYou are talking bison and not buffalo, correct? For Buffalo, the conversation starts at .375 and goes up from there. For bison, the 300 WM with Barnes TSX or TTSX will be perfect.
That was back when men were men and the Cape Buffs trembled in fear of those men.Why does it have to be a .375 or up, Roy Weatherby killed a cape buffalo with on shot from a 257 weatherby
Most African countries require a minimum caliber of .375 for dangerous game.Why does it have to be a .375 or up, Roy Weatherby killed a cape buffalo with on shot from a 257 weatherby
I never knew that, but I don't have any desire to hunt Africa. Thanks for the infoMost African countries require a minimum caliber of .375 for dangerous game
Check out Copper Creek Ammunition. Plenty of 300 WM options.I know this isn't an elk post and there isn't a forum for Buffalo so I'm hoping some of you know a little bit about it.
There is a 50/50 chance I will be going on a Buffalo hunt in January. Is a 300wm enough gun for these animal? I don't know much about Buffalo other then it taste good.
If I use the 300wm any particular bullet? I'm in Ca so I have a lot of monos like Barnes and Nosler e-tips already. I don't reload so the Hammers are out for now. Would a bonded bullet like the partition or accubond be better suited for a large animal like a Buffalo?
I really don't want to buy a new rifle for this hunt but if I "need" one…..I guess we always "need" another new fancy rifle don't we
