What is a good load for 180 e-tip in 30-06?

clearwater · Aug 6, 2008

Just bought a box of e-tips. Want to use them on elk from a
sportered springfield 30-06 (1928). It already shoots 150 grain
accubonds and 220 grain sierra round nose close to 1/2".
Want a sturdy load for longer ranges than the 220 without
having to use a range finder all the time. Reloader 19 is working best
in the current loads.

Bullet : .308, 180, Nosler E-Tip preliminary
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch or 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch or 558.8 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 62000 psi, or 427 MPa

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

105 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
