[QUOTE="BRENT ERWIN, post: 1568826, member: 106689"] We had a hunt for buffalo and there was some rules to caliber and bullet weight for our hunt. It had to a 30 cal or larger, a 180 gr bullet weight minimum. Our guide recommended Nosler partition or similar bullet construction. You had to be able to shoot a 2" 5 shot group @ 100 yards. Shots are typically under 200 yards with the majority at around 100 yards. The guide said that his preferred set up was a 338 with 225 gr or 250 gr bullets. I shot mine with a 300 win mag 190 LRX@ 125 yards. Dad used his 45-70 @ 75 yards and a 300 gr or 350 gr bullet. You have more than enough time for shot placement in our experience. I hope this helps a little. If I had any advice I would say error on the side of heavy bullets they are large animals. [/QUOTE]
