    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    This is part of what is holding me back from proclaiming the E-Tip to be the first true all distance, all game bullet. There seems to be a significant (or at least adaquate) amount of damage to internal tissue, but lack of big gapping exit wounds. Both chest shot moose have not been planted. I...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    The first one though the chest @15yds did, the next two, 1 long angled through the chest (back to front) and the one sideways through the neck vertabre @ 150yds were recovered. Pics of the bullets poster earlier. 6 K

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Ya the second pic really puts the mass of the brute in the top one in perspective. Wish I was the shooter but at least he got taken with my E-Tip load. I will probably get flack for this, but the reason I don't use PTs is...................... I don't like the fact they always loose their front...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Well I hope you all had a good Christmas. I have a few minutes so I thought I would try to post a few more pics. P9280721.JPG P9290254.JPG Don, I agree more vel. would ensure expansion, but I am sure I am pretty near the max @ 3150. I think that should be enough anyhow. I just haven't...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    6ft. 8. nose to tail 7ft. 6. paw to paw ( fronts ) I was hopeing for a lighter bear but there was another hunting party in the area and lots of wind. This guy is bigger than my last bear and I wanted one for the wall. I saw a small amount of color when he turned so down he went. I was really...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Here is the next animal I took with the E-Tips. My second Grizz. P1010033.JPG Training for the 2011 Stone Sheep trip starts Jan11th. The pack out last time took three days with a 130lbs pack and I had the lighter of the two. Are you sure you want to tag along? :wink: Gotta run 6 K

    E-Tip copper fouling

    I have shot both E-tips and TTSX. Serious fouling with TTSX, very accurate to start with, 15 rounds later 1.5 inch groups, 5 more and coffee cans are relitively safe at 100. I use wipe out to clean with and the differance is astonishing between the two types of bullets. When I shoot TTSX the...

    338 200 ET low FPS impact.

    Dirt is pretty tough stuff. I'm thinking even a shoulder blade @ 600 yds may not force open the bullet that much :?: :?: :? Good find though, thanks for posting. 6 K

    O.K. I'll try for the third time to put up some animal pictures. It takes forever to up load these to the site and for whatever reason they are not posting :x First up is the stone sheep. IMGP0144.JPG P1010102.JPG This was the first animal I took with the E-Tip. Hit him below and behind...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Yes this is more like what I am use to. Course would that wound be that big if the bullet didn't have a shoulder blade to help it open? What did the damage on the inside look like? My hunting partner and I dumped a 7 1/2 ft grizz a few years back. His 300 wm 200.gr partitions left blood spots on...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Sometimes bullets fail to open or not open completly is perhaps more correct, at real close ranges. I have personally found Black tallons and X-bullets to be prone to this. Some of the animal reactions and the lack of blood trails I have found have made me just a wee but suspicious of the E-Tip...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    6mm remmington, You mention that the cow went about 30 yds, did either of the antalope or the mule buck go very far for the type of hit they had? How was the blood shot /tissue damage in comparison to say the accubonds or partitons you usually use? I finally bought a 6mm rem. myself last year...

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Thanks for the comments guys. I am really trying to test this bullet so I can determine if it is a " do all for any game bullet ". At this point I am satisfied with the E-Tips' ability to penetrate and retain its' weight. The next couple of seasons I will be concentraiting on shots that test...

    300win mag vs 325wsm help me decide

    Well you might not want to hear this but it is the total truth. Sell the 300, forget that other stupid cal. and buy a 338 win mag. It kicks the snot out of both of the others with simular recoil. Live happly ever after. Amen

    FIELD TESTING THE 338 200GR. E-TIP

    Well it has been a few months since my last report so I thought I would start a new thread. If you can remember back in July /09 I started load development with the .338 200gr. E-tip. Two lost Elk and a nearly escaped Moose brought me to this decision not to continue to use the 200gr. BT on...

    338 cal 200 gr E-Tip

    Hi guy and gals, I am back from my Stone sheep hunt with my second ram. Unfortuneatly it wasn't much of a test for the 200gr e-tip. 309yds steep down hill so I held like a 200yd shot. I needed to anchor him on that grassy table, so I intended to break his spine at the sholder and exit the...
