M'kay. Of course, I misspoke. But as a State Park, it is managed differently than other state land. My bad. I loved my hunt on CSP back in 2007, and the bull I took is currently ranked B&C #34 all-time.
I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.

I shot two cow/bull with a Shiloh sharps 45/70 . I cheated and used smokless powder. The load was 46 grains of RL7 and a 405 lead gas checked bullet. They are one tough critter.

44/90 Sharps BN on far left,450 grains and 95 FFG. 45/110 next 540 g and 106 g FFG and a 30-06 for comparison. 44 dropped 500 lb wild pig in its tracks,45/110 killed Newfie moose in his tracks and Wyoming buffler the same way.

Well, I got some .308 200gr Swift A-Frames on the way. Already reloaded some 200gr Accubonds over the weekend. I'll be shooting these in my 300 RUM and will decide later on which one to take on my bison hunt.

Custer State Park is private land with a private herd on some 80,000 acres. No SoDak license or permit is required; you just gotta get lucky and draw a Custer permit. [/quote] Not so period. Custer State Park land belongs to the state of SD, public land administered by Custer State Park. They have their own Game dept who make their own decisions as to how many deer ,elk, antelope , mountain lion tags and buffalo permits to be drawn for. That buffalo bull tag is $5000 + as we speak.While they can roam 80 k acres,they are hunted so little that they have no fear of hunters. The biggest problem besides getting them out is picking the highest scoring bull for your money.I live here, I know. Magnum Man

Hey, there's a man that seen that combo bellow black smoke , I sure think it will Sharpsguy. <G> Gunner Orrrrr,breakin in a new 45/110 with 96 grs of KIK 2F and a big ole trot line sinker! Loaded up a half dozen and took it out on a stump over the hill..after the smoke cleared the stump needs first aid !! Woody, what bullet is that you're running? As someof you know, I used a 45/110 with 485gr Greaser on mine. Lined it up just like any other animal I shoot, up the leg and the middle third of the shoulder. Range was a lazered 92 yards. When I came off recoil, all I could see were four legs up in the air...

I believe it is a 535 grain Postell that Otter cast up for him to try. Last time out, he booted it up to 105 gr of KIK FFG and found out what a buffler gun REALLY felt like

I just cast a few of the 500grPP out of the mold I had done. Tried it with three powders, KIK 1 & 2F as well as the GOEX 2F and it seems to like them all!

Chad Kremer at Custer Stae Park recommends a .243, or smaller. Shoot the bull right behind the ear in the first cervical vertebra. All meat is 100% recoverable for the freezer..... I've done this nine times, but used a 444 instead. All herd culling, but the best shot to take. Drop like a ton, waste no meat and doesn't ruin the skull.

Sharpsguy turned me on to his PP mold so Bernie Rowls at Old West Molds is cutting it for me now,it's a parallel shank 510 gr flat base 1.3" long .436 dia.

Thanks Woddy, I wasn't familiar with that one 530. How does she group at 100?

Haven't had the chance to check a group at 100 due to our weather window and hunting snow geese lately but from what the guys tell me on the BPCR forum the Postell is more of a competition bullet although it blows up a stump at 80 yds with authority! BTW just picked up that custom PP mold at the PO it's a beauty and Bill's mold except for the flat base can't wait to run some! I'll send you some if you like that's the least I can do!
