.400 Whelen for bison. What alloy and what weight?
My 21 yr old son has applied for a Utah bison tag. This is on a free ranging wild herd.
If he is successful he wants to use my .400 Whelen.
I am open to any and all replies.
Mike Venturino, if you are still on this board please offer your insight as to my knowledge, you have shot more bison with cast bullets than anyone I know.
I have a 325 gr mould from Accurate Arms. It is the 41-325 B and the 41-325BG.
I kind of wondered about a 1:20 or 1:30 alloy or even 50/50 WW pure lead.
I am open to going heavier as in 350-400 gr bullets.
This is clear out of my league.
I teased my son saying he better have an army to help him. All the fun is gone when those big critters hit the ground dead.
Thanks,
