Wanting to take my 7mm PRC bear hunting in the woods shots will probably be 15-50yards. What would be the best bullet to choose? Want something that’ll mushroom out at those kind of ranges. Thanks
 
About anything? More velocity = more expansion. You're hunting at close range with a magnum. I would be more worried about too much expansion than not enough.

ETA: I hit send too soon. I was trying to add a quote from your post but hit send. If I were going to be hunting at close range with a magnum, I would be looking at a "tougher" bullet. A fast-expanding bullet will kill quickly, for sure, it's just going to make a mess. So, how about a partition?
