[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 210262, member: 11717"] It's been an interesting discussion. I'm still leaning toward the 180 gr E-Tip in my 300 WSM. I'll probably be able to give them a good test with antelope this fall if I can get my capabilities up to 700-800 yds. From what I've seen and heard the TSX's hold together very well except up to extreme velociteis. A Nosler E-tip add shows an some E-Tips next to TSX's shot at 3200 fps terminal and 1800 fps terminal. The TSX at 3200 fps, lost all it's pedals while the E-Tip held together. And the TSX at 1800 fps showed almost no expansion while the E-Tip showed some. I also saw another experiment where a TSX penetrated about 50% farther than an E-Tip through some phone books. The Accubonds are good bullets but I'm thinking that *maybe* the E-Tips will have a little edge over them ballistically and accuracy. Bergers are great bullets, but I don't like their explosive nature at high velociteis for the closer shots, and because of their long narrow design, may not be real practical for a WSM? It will be interesting to see how all this unfolds, really looking forward to making some long shots as I develop the ability. [/QUOTE]
