[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 340072, member: 11717"] That's true about the monometals. I spoke with a Nosler tech and he said when they reach max pressure, they pressure out very quick. When working up with RL17 and the 180 E-Tips, I was working up in 1 gr increments. When I got to 87 gr, I noticed a slightly stiff bolt lift and wasn't sure if it just might be the case. I figured going up another gr would be OK. That was a mistake. I got over 3500 on the chrony but I had to tap up the bolt with a plastic handle that I had on hand and it took a good bit of effort to extract it. When I did extract it, both the primer and the ejector fell out. I was done shooting for the day. Fortunately, I didn't hurt myself and the rifle only cost $25 to fix. That being said, the E-Tips seem to get similar velocities as jacket bullets. But when they pressure out, they can spike very quick. [/QUOTE]
