What Factory 7mm-08 Ammo?
« on: February 04, 2008, 04:50:59 AM »
I would like to know what factory ammo you guys would recommend on black bear.  I've always hunted with a bow in the past but want to try it with a rifle and use my 7mm-08 BLR.  I'm thinking Nosler Patrtions or Accubonds and Barnes Triple Shocks all put out by Federal.  What do ya'll think?  I know placement is the biggest key factor but shots shouldn't be over 50-75 yards where I hunt.
Thanks

Any of those should work, but I believe all are 140s. My wife and I are planning a bear trip this May and she will be shooting a 7mm-08 also.
She will be shooting the 160gr Speer Grand Slam load from The Hunting Shack. I wanted the extra weight looking for an exit wound.
