Howdy fella's. I went out this morning and shot a few 150 grain E-Tips out of my stock .300WSM. Starting with medium book loads I worked up to Nosler #6 max charges for 150 grain AB/PT's.
These are the only three groups I shot(200 yards).
RL19
69.5 grains
2960fps
2.25"
N550
65.5 grains
3220fps
2"
IMR 4831
69 grains
3140
1.75"
I was pretty happy with the initial results. Will tweak COL and imagine they will shoot even better.
It appears that you can pretty much substitute 'standard bullet' reloading data for the long E-Tip.
A stout, 150 grain bullet at 3220 fps with zero pressure signs from my usually "slow barrelled" rifle is sweet!
