Title: 130 gr. E-Tips for .270 Win
Post by: SeaRun1 on April 02, 2009, 06:07:35 PM: Does anyone have any information on loads for the new Nosler E-Tip bullet. I purchased some 130 grain bullets and want to develop a load for the .270 Win. Curious that there isn't much load data for them anywhere. Thanks in advance.

So do you mean that I should use the loads for Accubond/Ballistic Tips?
