[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2639187, member: 36999"] One word of advice, don’t use ELD-X’s for it. When I shot my bison the other guy was using a .338 win mag with precision hunter ammo and the other guide said the bullets went in and fragmented with not much penetration. The bison died but it took a while and he shot it 3 times. I shot mine with the 405gr Hammers in a 45-70 but in case I couldn’t get close enough with the Sharps I brought a .300 Win Mag as a back up loaded with the 181gr Hammer Hunters. The first was broadside, hit ribs and was caught in the hair on the off side, the second was a bit higher hit ribs and the bottom of the spine and ended up stuck in the far shoulder bone. The bison dropped on the second shot and was dead by the time we got up to it. [ATTACH type="full"]401394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]401393[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
