Bison Hunting Rifle?
What do you guys think I should use to take down a bison? I have a .270, but I don't think that's enough gun. Maybe a 300 or a 308? Planning on hunting one in the spring in Texas.

308 is about the same as a 270. you want something that shoots a big heavy peace of lead. 300 mag or 375 h&h would be a better choice. it all depends on the range you want to shoot and hot good of a shot you hit him with.

A 30-06 will do it if your shot placement is right and you use a heavy load.
Has to be a neck shot or heart/lung...not the head...there sculls are like a chunk of concrete. I prefere neck shots.
