Anyone loading E Tips?

[550 CAT]

Have a bunch of the 30cal Nosler 150gr E Tip bullets loaded for my 300 Win..They're a long slug. Longer than a 180gr Hornady Interlock..More or less seeing how they are working out for other shooters?

Please post your shooting results when you get a chance.

I've been target shooting same calibre in SAKO Greywolf and have settled on Berger & Wildcat 190 and 210 grain bullets with H1000 and none mag primer.

No Problem

The load I'm using is
150 Nosler E Tip
Win case
CCI 250 Primer

Powder....75 grains of H 4350...Started seeing pressure signs at 76 grains flattened primer.The rifle is a RKS Gain twist barrel on a model 70

Tried to post pic of target but with no luck.

Looks pretty darn useable to me. How do they compare with other bullets from your rifle as far as accuracy?

I've been very lucky with that rifle .It seems to shoot most loads fairly decent.I do have another load with 165gr Nosler Partitions..It shoots almost as well but I think the edge goes to the E Tip..The worst shooting bullet I've found thus far would have to be the Hornady Interbond..

One thing I found with the E Tip is they shoot much better when backed off the lands..When I first started working with them I hung the bullets out as far as the mag would allow..Always ended up with a flyer or 2..

Hope this helps some folks out..
