[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 235314, member: 7999"] The E-tip bullet is a new bullet by Nosler. I don't think it is available in a factory loaded round yet, it would have to be reloaded. I would recommend either the 180g E-tip or the 200g Accubond. They are almost ballistic twins. The 200g Accubond has a slightly higher b.c. but can't acheive as high a velocity. The E-tip seems, so far, to expand as well as the Accubond, but retain much more weight. I think it is a very lethal bullet for close or long ranges. Most of the hunting bullets made for the smaller caliber rifles are not make to retain weight like the larger hunting bullets. Thus when they a fired at extreme velocities they seem to blow apart more easily on impact. Both of these calibers would be capable of 3000 fps or more impact velocities at 100 yrds or less. I have not looked to see if Nosler is making the E-tip in the .25 cal. If they are not, then I am sure that barnes is making one that is similar. These mono metal bullets will hold together at high velocity impacts. I think that both calibers are fine calibers. For me there is something fun about shooting the over-bore 30cals. Steve [/QUOTE]
