E tip load data /info

[nitis]

Ok what is the consensus for loading these Etips?

I just ordered some 257s so I obviously cant wait to try them.

Should I use data for similar weight?

Is there a set percentage up or down to go off of?

It appears as the noslers dont have the bands cut into them ala the barnes and gmx around teh lower portion of the bullet which I understand was done to relieve pressure.

Also can anyone comment on performance on game they have taken with etip?

The recommendation that has been repeated on several threads is to use the Nosler data, using the mid-range charge as maximum. The E-Tips appear to like a long jump to the lands--0.100 inch is not at all too much. Dropped a moose last fall with a 130 grain E-Tip in my 270 WSM. Fine bullet performance, if sudden death is the criterion.

I concur to what DrMike said.
I look forward to trying the 257 100 gr E-Tips in my 257 Roberts. Should be a great bullet!
