would you shoot a bison with a VLD?

[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 555129, member: 4191"] FYI, I did vote no. In spite of posting that I would use the Berger with the perfect presentation and rib shot. I simply think there are better bullets available for this specific task. I corrected my post as I realized you did specify the 300 gr .338 VLD. The biggest remaining consideration for me is: are you intending to take the bison at very long range? If this is a long range only hunt by design, and you won't shoot unless the animal is 600 or more yards away - the 300 gr Berger would be a decent option due to their match grade accuracy, high BC, and because the impact velocity will be reduced. However, if you're planning to be within 300 yds, then you don't need the ultra high BC or the match quality bullet accuracy. I'd personally use a 225 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw out to 300 yds. They've proven deadly on some large brown bears I've killed at ranges of ~150 yards. Others will likely still post. [/QUOTE]
