    E-Tip grouping question...

    thanks for the reply. Sorry I sounded a little frustrated. last night I loaded two loads with Reloder 22. 73.5 and 75.5 based on recommendation from this site. 75.5 was noted as the most accurate. so I will give it a try. The E-Tip is a good concept and works well at 100 YDS. the...

    E-Tip grouping question...

    I have given up on the E-tip 180 grain 30 caliber in a .300 Win Mag with a BOSS. The groups are like what someone else said, two in sync and the third is way off. accuracy at 200 and 300 is so bad that I have given up. the man shooting with me was shooting accubonds Kimber .325 WSM. At 300...

    Played with the 180 etip and 300 win mag today.

    I don't have the equipment to test the muzzle velocity. I will shoot some again. I don't think it was the shooter - me. the partition bullets group <2" at 300 and the 150 grain Winchester factory loads were <2" at 300 YDs. thanks for the input

    Played with the 180 etip and 300 win mag today.

    forgot to mention that i dug the bullets out of the limestone fines I shot them into at the range. the bullets retained 99.2% and 97.6% of their weight and peeled back very nicely. not sure how to add a photograph of them.

    Played with the 180 etip and 300 win mag today.

    Shot a few groups with the E-Tips. 73.5 Grains Re22. @ 100YDs it was awesome. 3/8" group. @ 200 YDs 3 3/8" group @ 300 YDs it widened out to 7". No wind. I liked the 100 YD group but we are going out for Elk in two weeks and I don't like the 300 YD groups. I think maybe there is a...

    E-Tip grouping question...

    I agree about the bullet seating depth. It makes a huge difference. however, if you are shooting a rifle with a clip, you are limited in how far out you can seat them. Because of the clip I cannot seat them out to the lands. :lol: I used the suggestions by the Nosler folks and found that...

    How many of you measure all your loads?

    I throw every load with my powder charger which is set below the amount I am looking for. then I use the trickler to drop powder in to bring it up to the load I am making. fairly easy.

    Ballistic Tip penetration & experience

    I DID MANAGE TO DROP AN ELK AT 200 YDS. SHOT PLACEMENT WAS LOW ON THE LUNGS. THE BULLET WENT THROUGH AND DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. I DID FIND SOME BT FRAGMENTS ON THE NEAR SIDE HAIR. THANKS.

    Partitions VS Ballistic Tips

    I honestly didn't know about the accubond bullets until after I had bought a box of BT's at Bass Pro Shop. which is now the last place I will purchase reloading supplies now since their selection was really poor and the have no plans of making it better. I found out about the AB's on this...

    Partitions VS Ballistic Tips

    I just made the switch to BT's from Partitions. 180 gr. Partitions just weren't holding groups in my .300 WM Browning A-Bolt with a BOSS. The 165 gr partitions drive tacks in my Rem 700 BDL .300 WM. so that is fine. I switched to BT's today and shot some wonderful groups including this 3/8"...
