Etip and the 7mm SAUM

[martinbns]

I have a question about Etip data. I just bought a 7mm SAUM in an original NIB 700 Ti. I have used with excellent results before AccuBond, and Barnes TSX's. I was unable to find any 140 gr accubonds at any of our local stores, but bought some 150 grETips. They aren't listed in the online manual, is the Data interchangeable between the Etips and the Accubonds. In the past with Barnes bullets I have been very careful to use their data, which sometimes differs a fair bit from traditional cup and core bullets.

Any sweet loads would be appreciated as well.

Thanks
Martin

It is not interchangeable. Start at the beggining of the AB data and work up slow. Chances are you will reach max before you would with the AB. Slower powders may be better!

The E-Tip has a much longer bearing surface than the other bullets like the AB. For this reason, pressures will climb much faster. The mid range loads in the Nosler RG #6 should be considered your MAX load for the E-Tip.
