[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2419461, member: 121205"] Truth be told black bear are not armor plated. But, for those hunting them in dense cover such as over bait in a muskeg swamp, a "stopping load" that makes two holes is a solid choice. A-Frames, Partitions or a bonded, heavy for caliber bullet isn't a bad choice. High speed and laser trajectory need not apply. I run a mid-range (~2321 fps, SD 9.6) .350 Remington Magnum loaded with 250 gr partitions. So, were I offering advice, always highly dangerous amongst shooters, I'd add 2mm of diameter to that 7mm's bore and slow it down some. Your 7RM with a 160 bullet will do just dandy as long as you do your part. Enjoy the hunt and your preparations leading to it. [/QUOTE]
