Sendero 7mm Rem Mag black bear load??

[Mxracer532]

So I scored a good deal on a Rem Sendero in 7mm rem mag and am making this my long range bear gun. Shots ranging from 100-800 ish. I have always shot Bergers, but thinking of a tougher bullet for bear. 168gn Barnes LRX? Nosler Accubond LR? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I'd shoot the 160 Accubond, but I don't see any reason not to shoot the 168 ABLR.

I've killed two bears with my 7mm Rem with 180 Berger VLDs in 2014. One was an 8.5' Brown bear that I shot in the chest at 200 yards while he was standing on his hind legs. The other was a 7 foot black bear that I shot through the lungs at 180 yards. Both bears hit the dirt quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to choose the 180 VLD again.
