[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1866045, member: 1951"] E-Tip is the same thing as Barnes. What you are looking for is matching bullet type, all copper, in this case. IMR4451 wouldn’t be my first choice, but I think it looks like a pretty good choice. Barnes wouldn’t be my first choice either, but it looks good for an all copper bullet. I’m slow to accept all copper bullets due to the velocities required to work hunting. I have reloaded for 20+ years. I reload for 300 WSM. My stock Savage 12 shoots 0.6” @ 100 yds....PM me, if you think I can help. I don’t worry about case weight. I really don’t think it matters at all. Case shape, head stamp, # of firings, etc, matter, but not weight as far as I can tell. I have sorted by weight....no change in groups. Sort by headstamp....this caused 10-20% improvement. A 223 of mine went from like 1.1” to 0.95”....not mind blowing, but good. Look up OCW. Dan’s methods can really open doors for you as far as speed of finding that load. Look up Berger’s OAL tuning. I still think a Berger’s shoot best touching to 0.030”, but trying their method seems like a good idea if your load is not quit there. Look up ladder testing. I’m not sure I much care for shooting ladders on paper yet, but shooting them over the chrony can narrow the field and looking at the cases can help you find max pressure with 1 round vs many. Some cartridges either don’t have book data or the book data is crap. [/QUOTE]
