Finally ran 1 through the jugs. Seems I can't post pics here off my phone. Could I e-mail them to someone?

Looks like a Barnes but prettier with the curves.

That is the sort of performance I've observed from the E-Tips recovered from game (130 grain .270 and .200 grain .338, so far). Very fine performance.

Looks just like the 90 gr. 6mm E-tips I put into jugs. They worked very well on antelope, deer, and a cow elk for my son a few years back. Never recovered any of them though, even from his cow at 350 yards! Bullet exited her offside shoulder. I really like those E-tips. Thanks for posting those. I bet they are screamers in a 25-06!!

I may have to load a few of those and try 'em in my 25-06 rifle... Some years back I used the 100 gr Barnes TSX at 3340 fps mv for three mule deer, but got away from that bullet due to inconsistent expansion and excessive copper fouling of the barrel.
But, the E-Tip ought to address both of those issues!

Quite a satisfactory effort. That has to be comforting when you take the rifle and load afield.

Did you happen to measure diameter?
