Personally hundreds of TSX's , not that many compared to others. Just the ones I loaded for my rifles and for my friends. As far as the E-tip I have not seen any in real life let alone shoot any. What I am relaying is what is being relayed to me by the testers at Nosler and by the different gun writers who tried them in Texas and various parts of Africa. Reports have been very positive with the bullet's highlights which I stated above. As far as enthusiasm ...yeah it does get the best of me sometimes...... Hey I am human.

Why should I choose the E-Tip over the Partition, and why would I choose the E-Tip over the Barnes TSX, or the Swift A-Frame, or the North Fork?

I have too much regard for Nosler bullets as well as the company to think they would nickel-and-dime me for advertising.
I have known about POP's mod status over there for a long time, and I had already asked him once or twice to refrain from promotional posting, to which he agreed. I am very surprised by his hanging multiple identical posts on the 'Fire, as he knows it is against policy, and I have consolidated them here. This clearly is a breach of our agreement.
POP, I would have been GLAD to posts a press-release from Nosler re the E-Tip. MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IT.
I will assume you're flying solo, so I direct this to you, once again:
"Promotional posts are reserved for paying advertisers only."
Please have the good folks from Nosler contact me, and I will be GLAD to work something out with them so they may make these types of announcements, as we are ALL interested.
There's no reason to transact on this level, and I can't imagine Nosler sanctioned this.
POP, you know better.

You should not choose the e-tip over anything that is working great for you already!
I am just updating on it's availability, not selling them!
By the same token I am immensely exited about the possibility of the introduction of the new Northfork with a super pointy tip! Yeah baby a super high BC Northfork!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I get carried away.........I e-mailed Mike Brady a while back and he said that If and only If the experimentals meet 100% of his expectations (accuracy, penetration, expansion and I am sure much more) then he will release them.
Another toy on the market, Heck yeah I am excited!

Pop, do you work for Nosler? When the Nosler site first got established there was an incredible amount of spam and other "unwanted adult material and links" posted.  I volunteered to keep it clean and after a while they agreed to let me. So no I do not work for them, get paid, kick backs or any of that good stuff. Just one of you guys but with the power to delete nasty stuff over there.

I imagine the E-tip and TSX probably perform about the same. What would hook me as a consumer is to offer a bullet the same as an E-tip, but much cheaper. I still cannot justify these $1 bullets when I have killed everthing I pointed my gun at with a wimpy, non-premium, Core-Lokt.

+1 for POP, he's a good guy and I've had PM's and transactions I truly doubt he's a "plant" from Nosler. That's like saying that Steelie's a plant from McMillan, E from Leupold, me personally from Leica and CAS from .... well some place that sells the damn coolest rifles ever  Anyway, POP's a good guy, he's just as biased as the rest of us which isn't a bad thing.

Biased ain't a bad thing, I'm biased towards lots of things I have used.
I ain't biased towards I bullet I have never held or fired.

True....but if Dick at McMillan told you about a great new stock pattern that eliminated felt recoil, you'd be excited to give it a try...wouldn't you? POP is just having premature ignition on the e-tip

I'm sure they'll catch hell when their "petals" break off. Never see a Sierra ad with bullets without cores or in pieces. Why do bulletmakers set themselves up this way?
Nosler does stuff up right, but they'd better not quit making the PT like they did the FS and PT Gold's in favor of something "new". A fella gets biased and they quit making them.

Depends on what colors were available. Besides I shoot sissy cartridges, so recoil ain't an issue.......grin

A 257 Roy has probably never failed him, if it has he knows and he'd tell, he won't tell you if his condoms have, and he doesn't know YET.
