Third Trip to the range with the E-tips had more positve results :) I tried five seating depths at .o15 increments. .100 to .030 off the lands. Four shot groups for each. .100 was awfull .085 gave me a workable group of 1.25 inch .060 really came together with three touching and I pulled the...

Thanks Guys, I am going to load 75gr. (3110fps) and try different seatting depths to see where I get the best accuracy. I'll let you know how it goes. 6 K

Thanks A_S, Intresting that I can get a 200gr.BT. to move 3200-3215 fps out of a 24" barrel with 77gr of H4350. I am not sure I understand the corralation to barell length. I understand that a longer barrel would give you more vel. with the same amount of powder. Why does more powder equal less...

Hey Pathfinder 82 what cal is that M77 your holding? Is it heavy barrelled or just standard? Old tang safety or new style? 6 K

Well I am back from second trip to the range for developing my e-tip load. I did safely fire 77.gr loads but without getting the fps of my BT. load. Max vel. was 3170 fps. Now I hate to sound like I just fell off the pumpkin cart but, you seldom get answers with out asking questions so here...

Well guys and dolls ( if there are any on this site) I finally shot some 200gr E-tips out of my .338 win mag this morrning. Starting load 66gr. of H4350 gave a vel. of 2770 fps.and worked up to 73.5gr for a speed of 3028. Still 200 fps slower than my BT. load but still 3.5 gr less than that...

DAMB! I just gotta come up with a good excuse to go to Texas :lol:

Just heard on another forum that at least one guy had real fouling thus accuracy problems with the e-tips. Anyone here have that happening? I hope to get out with my test loads this week. I'll let you guys know how it went. 6 K

Oh ya, How loud is a surpessed ar-15? I used to hunt black tails with mine before they became a restricted weapon here. Of course it was not surpressed either but I did love it.

Now that is cool 8) Are there any restrictions on Non-resident hunters or could anyone with $400 show up and give it a go? Did you get to keep the meat? What is it like? If I am ever down there I be into that BIG TIME. 6 K

Right on POP! We are still waiting to see the results of our limited entry draws here in B.C. Probably another ten days yet. My goat draw ( Mt. goat not speed goat that is) is a gimme at .8 to 1 and antlerless mule deer at 1.6 to 1 is a pretty good bet, any of the others( bison, caribou, grizz...

Richracer1, Thank you, Your guesses and "what you would do" are what I was looking for. Having not loaded E-Tips preivoiusly I am only looking to see where others have started and what they concidered safe increace increments of powder would be. I wish not to detonate my dearly beloved T.Z.O.D...

So' should I step it back to .5g increments to 70gr the .25 after that. Is 68gr. too high of a charge to start with?

Welcome to the forum. First, what 338 caliber are you loading for? Second, I highly advise getting a Nosler #6 manual. Oops, I see I did miss this in my post ,338 Win mag, I haven't looked at Nosler # 6 , but never really been happy with the Nosler manual I did buy, #3. For the most part I...

Hi, I am about to load some of these for the first time ( 200 gr .338 E-Tips) My previous 200gr load was 77gr of H4350 giving me 3180 to 3210 fts. I am hopeing to duplicate these velocities with the E-Tips. My question is what charge to start with? The one manual I have only lists a maximum...
