I sure hope you are right and it shoots as good as it looks. If I have planned correctly on powder, primers, brass and especially seating depth it just might meet my expectations. :lol:

I bet it shoots as good as it looks.

I thought about it's design and hardness as well as it's bearing surface and decided to start 3 grains below where I would start with a conventional bullet. Since the E-Tip will peak very fast when it gets to it's max I decided to give it a good jump and seat it a little deeper than you would a Ballistic Tip or AccuBond. I am using IMR4350 with Nosler Custom brass, Fed 210 primers. We will see when my rifle gets here just how much my experience over the years will pay off, I might not even be close but I think that I am close to what is needed for an accurate load.

You never know till you pull the trigger. I have some 150 and 180's sitting here. Hope you get GREAT RESULTS so I feel a bit better about my chances!

Well, I am waiting for my rifle to come. It is supposed to be shipped back to me the end of next week. I sure hope so, I am getting the itch to go to the range real bad. :grin:

Thanks Antelope-Sniper, that really was a nice compliment and I thank you for the kind words. I really do like to take pictures and create some unique contexts for my subjects. I can't wait to get my Mark V back in the new Stock and with the new Cera-Kote finish so I can take some pictures of it and not on that old wood pile of mine. I am thinking of how to best present it in a different context than my wood pile when it comes back.

WOW! Sweet picture! We're going to have to get you in our marketing department! :grin:

Looks like JD is going to have some competition on product pics! :lol:

When my rifle comes back which will be after we see how the storm impacts my area around where I live. I will also be trying these bullets against the E-Tip for velocity and accuracy. I just could not put down those Black & Gold boxes. I had to start digging in them again and ended up loading the following.

165gr AccuBond

165gr B-Tip

I sure hope the storm only brushes us so I can get my Mark V 30-06 back.

Know we are not whiners as you said. We cleared our own streets and state Highways and did not wait for the state or federal government to do it for us. Our efforts allowed electric service trucks to spend their time on the power lines instead of wasting time on clearing roads first. We did our own rescues because we went looking for our friends and family and certainly were not going to wait for Big Brother Government to take care of our love ones, we guarded our own neighborhoods and post our own armed guards and we will do it all again if it gets bad again. Mississippi people down here were I live are not believers in entitlements, we believe in work and accepting responsibility for our conditions and doing something about it. Just keep us in prayer, especially if New Orleans floods because gangs leave and come north up 59 and my town sits 45 miles north of New Orleans on I-59 just across the La. - MS. state line.

That is what America is all about. And that attitude is what is missing in alot of places.

If you need more bullets just give a holler up Batesville AR way.We got a few refuges last go round.First thing they asked when got of the bus was where is the liqour store lazy people didnt even offer to help unload food when my wife and another woman showed up with a truck load.

 

[C.Smith]

That's crazy, not helping to unload their food. I guess that is what happens when people are given every thing to them most of their lives.

Looks like the new LA Gov, Gov. Jindal has it going on, but he is not of the Welfare Socialist Party either. Good for him.

We had several plane loads of LA refugee's here in Denver after Katrina.
We threw them a Job Fair, and recruiters from many of the top companies in the region show up to help with what we thought was most important... A JOB. A total of 8 refugee's showed up. Funny how they couldn't find the job fair, but they could find the line for that free goverment money just a few blocks away. Fortunately for us, we had several bad blizzards the following winter and most of them left parts south.
