That'll do nicely! Great shooting!

Oh, yeah, that load will hunt. Looking very good.

Thanks guys. I got drawn for anterless moose and elk this season so quite happy using the E-Tip.

Tried the 200gr AB and it’s not too shabby either.

I'd roll with complete confidence in either load.

Excellent loads and shooting. Congratulations.

Nice shooting, what is your velocity? I never tried the ETips on my 300 Win Mag, currently using the 180 Accubonds and RL-22.

Didn’t chrono them, but plan on heading out again soon and will check velocity. This is the first time I’ve ever tried the E-Tip and won’t be the last!

You can't complain about either of those loads.. That 200 grain AccuBond is a wicked son of a gun on elk sized animals.. I am sure the ETip is good to, just never used them on game.

Those both look great. Nice job. How far off the lands are you seating the Etip? Thanks

I just seated them to Nosler’s recommended in their load data.

Nice work..I don't have any first hand experience with one, but there are several guys with XPR's at the local range, and so far all I've heard is good things about them.

Yes, they seem to be getting quite good reviews. Never owned one before and so far very impressed.

 

[ShadeTree]

Excellent group on that top one. Nice shooting.

Nice work! Hard to top a 180 E-tip or 200 AB out of a 300 winmag!
