007hunter Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 So I'm planning on hunting black bear this year here in PA. Never done it before but figure I'll give it a shot. I'll be using my 7mm Rem Mag. and was wondering what bullet you would recommend? I'm hoping to be able to use the same bullet for both Whitetails and Bear if possible. I've been looking at the 160 gr. Barnes Triple Shock but I'm worried that I won't get good expansion on deer due to how thin skinned they are. Your thoughts? BTW I do not reload. Also another option is the Winchester XP3's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'd suggest, as an all-around, kill-anything load, the 160 gr. Nosler Partition. Federal, for one, loads them. http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/rifle.aspx?id=374 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinky Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The barnes triple shocks simply destroy deer. Theyre in my opinion worth all the hype of an all copper bullet. My 270 wsm put a deer down within 20 yards of where he was hit with only a 130gr bullet so you wont have a problem with them Im sure.
