I have two 300wsm's in the closet, one loves 168 accubonds with 64gr of RL17. The other prefers 180 accubonds with 64gr of hybrid 100. Every gun is different, takes lots of patience and lots of trips to the range to dial things in!

If you go to MT fish and game website, there is excellent info on shot placement when hunting buffalo. The heart and the brain shot are the most effective and recommended shot placements. I have been on two buffalo hunts where only archery equipment were used, shot placement is crucial.

Looks like the buffalo are starting to migrate out of Yellowstone Park, with reports of 53 being harvested so far! Good luck to all of the permit holders this year, a truly unique experience that Montana has to offer.
I've been plaint with two 300 wsm's for about a year, one really likes 64g of rl17 with 165/168 grain noslers, the other starting shooting really well with 64g of hybrid 100 and 180 grain noslers. My suggestion would be to reload a few and take them to the range and shoot them through a chrono...
