I think 120 grain bullets would be a good start and an ideal weight!
I'll be handloading the 120's. My last 7mm-08 loved plain old 140 gr. Corelokts but I've read that alot of guys roll their own using 120 Ballistic tips with great success. Where I hunt I really don't have to worry about running into any bear so that's not a concern.
