Default Need a Load Reco for My New Rifle

If you've been following my other thread, after much deliberation I decided to purchase a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .308 Win. Now I'm looking for recomendations on brands/loads of cartridges. I do not reload rifle cartridges, so reloading recipes isn't what I am after.

I plan to use the rifle on whitetail and black bear in New York State, so I'm thinking max distance to target would be 150 yards.

The Winchester Power Max Bonded with 150 gr bullet sounds very interesting, but they put such emphasis on it being an excellent deer load, that I'm wondering if it would be less than optimal on black bear.

So I ask you, what brands/loads should I be considering for my specific needs?
