Default RE: 7mm-08 - Whitetail/Black Bear/ Hog Bullet?

In most scenarios like this, it is recommended that you load for the toughest animal you expect to encounter - and expect a pass through on the deer. I would look at one of the bonded bullets - 150 Scirocco, Accubond, Trophy Bonded Bear Claws. Even though any of these should hold up on a bear or hog, they should also expand fast enough to put down a whitetail quickly with a lung shot. Sierra BT's and Ballistic Tips are great deer bullets - not tough enough for bruins or porkers, IMO.
