I loaded up a few this afternoon and tried them out. I started by partial neck sizing a piece of brass and lightly seated an E-Tip. I then chambered the round and took the measurement then adjusted my die to be .100 off the lands.
I tried 52gr of RL-22....I was shooting from a semi-stable rest, but not a bench. The 100 yard group measured precisely 1 inch (about the same as my Accubonds from the same rest). So I am satisfied with the group...I did not have a Chronograph on me, so who knows what the velocity is. But, surprisingly, my Accubonds hit in the same spot as the E-Tips, so that is good. No signs of pressure, also a good sign.
I am taking her out after coyotes tomorrow, we'll see how she does.
