Thnx MD for those listings!! I omitted the Barnes data because I don't have 1 Barnes bullet. I notated the 160-162s >> in the 7 RM >> the Hornady load is the slowest of the 4. First I took a PIC off my lap top screen. --> It's in my phone pix. Second, I emailed that to myself for storage record. THNX again. Jerry

Spring yesterday and beautiful but the four inches of new snow today is depressing...especially to the robins. Carol suggested moving...

fwiw, the 7WB loaded with a 150/160 NAB and a scope with an elevation dial strikes me as one of the best choices for sitting on a mountain saddle in the Rockies with 600+ yards of possibility in front of you.
Colorado daughter and I were sitting in just such a place a few years ago while she was too sick to hunt on her feet and we watched two good mule deer bucks taking their time to cross it. We had elk tags in our pockets...:)

Tom, I like the way you think. I hope you and your daughter filled those elk tags?

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.

That's what I'm hoping for. I kind of figured they were hard to obtain? Guess I can keep an eye out. Wait a minute, I haven't even bought the rifle yet? WTH??
