I am pushing the 130 gr AB in my Swede at about 2800. I must have some of the older ones,because they sure explode on antelope. I'd be warry of using on elk.I hear the new ones are tougher tough. That long AB sure matches that faster twist in the Swede though. Scary accurate.

Of the four you have, I'd go with the140 gr Hornady
