7mm-- 175 Partition or 140 Absolute Hammer for Bison?

[letrbuck]

Got to looking in to having JES turn one of my rifles into a 9.3x62 for a bison hunt, but I'd be really lucky to get any components to actually be able to shoot the thing these days... so I'll probably use the rifle I already have. I was going to try some Absolute Hammers this year but wasn't sure how the lighter mono might do for the bison compared to the heavy partition

I always used 175gr Partitions or Swift A-frames for elk, and I would have used the same for bison if I had taken an opportunity to shoot one of those.

Partition. You might be able to drive that 140 fast, but I would want more weight for bison.

My thoughts too. Hopefully I can find some before too long

175 partition. Been in on the killingnof three of them. Moore bullet is what you want

175 Partition, no replacement for displacement on an animal that could weigh well upwards of 1500 pounds on the hoof. I blush to say I would probably not shoot the 200 TTSX from my 35 Whelen AI for that size of critter. I'd bump it up to the 225 TSX or the old original 250 gr X that I squirreled away a few boxes when they quit making them years ago.

As heavy as you can go. Momentum is needed more on that size animal.

Partition. Always.
