Info needed: 180gr E-Tip & RL15 for .308WIN

[jicko]

Do someone have a load for this combo? (I also have some Ramshot TAC, Varget, VV N540, but I do prefer to use RL15)

I would also like to know your seating depth/COAL too.

Thanks in advance.

The rifle is a Rem700 SS 5R, 24" barrel. Twist rate: 1:11.25

PS. POP: can you please use your SW to get me some predictions?

None of my business but that son of a gun is gonna be a crazy long and slow bullet for the 308. Hell it might even bottom out by the flash hole while seating...ha ha.
I can't imagine it could do anything the 150 etip couldn't.
(After loading cup and core 150's in some friends '06s for Wisconsin deer hunting I grabbed some 150 e tips for some test loads for post season. I thought I grabbed the wrong box....the 150's looked like 180's!

This is only preliminary testing with the 180 e-tip .
it was too new when this version of QL came out.
