Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles E-Tip range results.

I thought some of you boys might be interested in some E-Tip loading data.

All loads are Nosler #6 max for 150 gr. AB/PT's.
I seated all bullets to 2.860"COL(tweakage to follow).

It appears as if you can substitute book data for the long E-Tip.

Good stuff. Looks like pressures are a bit higher with the Nosler.

Know if anybody loaded some 150 E-tips in an 06 yet?

Nosler's seem to be more accurate!

Looks like about any of those loads would do well. Gotta hate that (grin).

The E-Tips have shot the best right out of the gate over the six other bullets I have tried. I just loaded up another batch with varying COL's and charges. Hopefully the groups will shrink up a little...

Keep us posted,I'm very interested in your results,I need to get some 180's for my 300WM!

180's should work fine in your .300 Win. Mag.. They might be too long in the WSM with slow powder though.
For comparison.



----180 Accubond---180 Partition---168 TSX---165 Partition---150 TTSX---150 E-Tip
------1.390"----------1.255"---------1.320"------1.175"--------1.295"------1.290"

Nosler lists the 180 E-Tip at 1.464".

Good luck with the R&D Sam Thanks for the info.

You're welcome bud.
I really enjoy shooting the 150's over the 180's too. Noticeably less felt recoil IMO.

FWIW, I don't have a 300 WSM or probably never will. However, I can appreciate what it takes to go through the R&D to include groups and chronograph results and post them for every regular joe. That's just being a cool cat in my book. Good luck Sam.

Sam,I'll throw a little fuel on the fire,have you looked into Reloader 17 a new powder that Alliant claims 3343 fps with 150 gr bullets in the 300 WSM, it's a new high energy powder designed around the WSM cases,I wouldn't want you to run out of components to test!

Still unavailable Ackleyfan. I`ve got an interest there as well. Alliant is waiting on labels and canisters before it ships. Probably by months end.

Wonder if the new RL 17 will work well with the 300 Win magnum.That 150 E Tip is a long sucker.I like it..

Thanks for your posts and pics Sam..

Tim,they did say around mid March,what are you going to be trying it in?

7STW,they claim 3333 fps with 150 gr bullets in the 300 WM!

10-4 Thank you

SamOlson, Good pic. Any chance we could get you to re-post it with the lengths of those bullets? I still can't see why bullet makers don't list the bullet length along with their other specs. It would sure help when figuring seating depth and bullet intrusion into the case.

No problem, I edited in the bullet lengths in the pic.
I agree, knowing the lengths beforehand would be nice.

I called them about the delivery date Wednesday last week, and they are waiting on details like labels and canisters, said the first run will be 2 or 3 thousand pounds, then a delay for production to catch up. I`d get a couple few pounds up front and let others wait..........

I`m going to use it in 300 Saum, and a 6/47 Lapua.

Thank you,SamO. 180TSX is 1.389".
