E-tip?

[FOTIS]

Anyone here use it on game yet? How about just at the range? Any inputs?

could i use this bullet at muzzle velocity of 2300 fps on game?

 

[JD338]

What caliber are you shooting and what are your expected hunting ranges going to be?

Theoretically impact velocity should be at least 1900 fps for expansion. Max speed does not matter.

I was thinking about my 30-40 krag for deer and pig. Open sight, range
to 200 yards.

 

[FOTIS]

You're good!

Anybody know where and when information on which calibers and bulletweights that will be available in time for load development and so for next season?

 

[JD338]

I will try to find out and post ASAP.

POP,
Thanks for the above info.
I was looking over the new page for the shooter pro shop and didn't see a "second" listing for 8mm bullets for/in the BT or Partition. Does your crystal ball say anything about Nolser droping these?

 

[FOTIS]

Nope, there are just no seconds in that configuration at this time.

 

[mbmm]

Please bear with my ignorance....What makes these bullets seconds?

Correct me if I'm wrong Nosler but:
Nosler seconds have only cosmetic blemishes. At least that's the case with the ballistic tips 2nds that I have purchased. Weight and performance is what you would expect from Nosler.

Cosmetic/aesthetic blemishes. That is it!

This is a 300 yard group I shot with my 300 rum and 200 AB seconds.
it measures .675".

I bought a batch of 300 155 grains 30 cal match seconds. I had to weight sort them as they varied by over 3 grains. Once sorted they were okay.
