Buehler ... Buehler ... Buehler ..... or anyone wishing to put their $0.02 in.

Let's say I was going to hunt coastal brown bears in Alaska. I would take a 30-06 that I've shot for many years (700 BDL 22" barrel) and am quite familiar with it. I'm looking at different 200 grainers to develop a load with either RL-26, H4831SC, or Hunter to try and get at least 2650 MV......if I can get 2700 MV so much the better.

Of the following 200 grain bullet choices, which would be your top two picks? Also, would you absolutely avoid the two shown below from Speer and Hornady, since they are not "premium" bullets that may or may not hold up?

200gr Hunting Bullets
Norma Oryx
Swift A-Frame
Nosler Accubond
Nosler Partition
Hornady ELD-X
Speer Hot Core
Federal Terminal Ascent

One of these years I hope to check this off my bucket list. :-)
