Princess Bride has informed me that we are going on a black bear hunt in Vancouver BC this June. She then asked me what she should shoot.
With the concept that bullet placement is top priority I need to explore the viability of her 7mm-08.
PB used her Browning A-bolt 7mm-08 very successfully in Namibia. She fired it 3 times and killed a zebra, oryx, and wildebeast. She is extremely confident in the rifle. It really fits her well. (Note: This rifle is on a youth stock) However, I think it needs to be loaded with a better bullet than a 150g Federal Soft Points she used in Namibia.
So, will this rifle loaded with a 160g Barnes TSX or 160g Swift-A-Frame be appropriate for this hunt. Thanks for ya'lls help.
