I need some suggestions on bullet grain size for trophy buffalo (1800 to 2000 pounds). The guide says to expect 100 to 150 yard shots. I am partial to the polymer pointed bullet due to their accuracy and punch over this distance. I will be pushing the bullet with 120 grains of BH209 out of my Triumph. I have used the Hornady 250 grain sst in my past hunts with success on moose and deer but I think it may be a little light for the buffalo hunt (moose was only 50 yards, taken deer, mulies and whitetail, at 130+ yards measured with a Nikon laser range finder). I have full faith in the rifle to deliver the bullet as aimed at 150 yards as it does it easily with the 250 sst's. Thanks !
