Dirt farmer: I have used or seen used all of those bullets on plains game and/or Elk in the 7RM. I would start with R26 and the TBT either the 160 or 175s. I have found Sierras close enough for load work up with these and the Barnes. Then I would try MRP and maybe the Accubond next if the previous loads were not working out which is hard to imagine.

Have not used any in the 7x57 but most in either the 6.5x55 or 270. The AB and ABLR work fine at Swede velocities. Have only used the Trophy in 270 and I think especially the tipped version will open just fine at 7x57 velocities but is really not needed at those velocities.
