150 gr bullets from Shooters Pro SHop

[magothy1]

I thought I had ordered some 150 Partitions, what I got are 150 gr with what looks like a black ballistic tip, and the bullets are boat tailed. Tag on the bag reads FTIP 30/ 151 SP, next line is Factory Seconds, next line is ET 8684/BAND

They shoot well in the Savage 99 with 3031, running 2770 - 2790 fps. I just looked on the Shooters Pro site and didn't see anything like these, or I missed it.

Combined Technology Ballistic Tips possibly. Does it look like this?

Thinking you got some etips that wound up one grain over what they were supposed to be.... probably the black tip was a special order by some manufacturer that was going to use the bullet.

That's my thought, based on the "ET" but... Who knows? If they shoot well... GREAT!

I think Kraky1 is correct. I ordered some .277 ETips and the bag was labeled "F-Tip 270/ 131g Sp Factory Seconds", so I emailed SPS. They said they were ETips for Federal factory ammo, therefore the F. I asked if they were exactly the same as ETips and they said to contact Nosler. I emailed Nosler and they said, "Yes you can use the same load data, and the same BC for these projectiles."

So you probably have ETips, but i would email SPS if you ordered Partitions.

Thanks for that. The FTIP thing threw me. They're longer than usual, like E-tips are. I had to weigh a couple to be sure they were 151 gr. I must have seen that they were cheap and ordered a bag.

Ha, you aren't the first who has succumbed to cheap SPS bullets that triggered a buy..
