30 cal 180gr. Nosler E-Tip

Re: 30 cal 180gr. Nosler E-Tip

I haven't used it for long range or target practice, but I did harvest a 500lb elk with one last december. Picked up the bullets on a monday, called Nosler for loading info and was told to use the starting load for working up from. Used the starting load, sighted in at 200 yds, `5500 ft altitude, 38* day. 10 rds 200yds about 3/4 moa, that was a tuesday. Got lucky-first day of the hunt (Saturday) had a cross canyon shot at exactly 208yds with a 10 mph up canyon wind. 18" left POA, and she was DRT. Haven't shot the rest for developing or testing as I was rather pleased with the results I obtained. Oh, and no bullet recovery, entrance hole was almost not found with the exit hole showing signs of lung/internal organ tissue out of a quarter size hole; broke two ribs on its way through and made a considerable mess out of her internals.
