I respect Mr. Atkinson's opinion, so the .375 works for me.

The idea is to not shoot at all unless things go sideways, in which case we'll be close (less than 50 yards I would think), as I wouldn't expect things to go sideways unless and until an arrow was stuck into the bison.

OK, given that I'll be using the .375 from fairly close, will a 300 gr partition at 2500 fps be adequate, or should I consider TSX or solids?

I've never shot anything of that size from any range with any caliber so I'm not certain what to expect.

Thanks all for the input!
