Short history.

New 7mm SAUM didn't like 140 gr TSX for some reason groups around 2 inches. Tried 150 grEtip's over 61 grs of H4831sc and voila 3/4 inch groups average over 10 three shot groups over 2 sessions.

No chance to try them out on a moose(not for lack of effort) but shot a middling Whitetail buck at around 300 yards, penetration was as expected, good amount of damage inside, normal sized exit wound.

Does anyone have info on a 30.06 using imr 4350 with 180g E-tip? I can't find any online or in the nosler book. The guy at the store said load it like it was an accubond 55g max. I would like to try them but would like to know what the max was. Thanks jay.
