Looks fancy! Use either the barnes TSX or either of your Partition loads. If the cover is thick at all, an exit wound is a must for a good blood trail. This is not just somebodys thoughts, each spring and fall I or one of the other guides end up tracking bears hit by one of our hunters and a large blood trail really helps. It is typically dark or getting dark by the time you shoot one and bait sites are usually tore up with tracks so blood is your best friend.

Just some extra advice (take it or leave it) If you can shoot through that big shoulder to reach the vitals or go through the vitals to reach the off shoulder, They can't cover as much ground with broken framework. This is where the premiums earn their keep.

I've also had others recommend the partition over everything but I just loaded up a few of everything. I planned on aiming for the shoulder. Thanks!

You don't think the 200 Accubond will smoke through at 40 yards or under?

I loaded up *10 Accub., *10 180 Part., *10 180 Sciroccos, *40 168 TSX, and 10 Speer 180 Spitzers. All are going with me since I'll be coyote hunting after I get a bear (if I do).
