Tough to read but… I’ve never used the E-Tip, but have used a lot of Barnes, which is also an all metal bullet, with great success. I don’t see why the Nosler wouldn’t perform well.
California and I believe a few other states are mandating the use of non-lead bullets. Unfortunately, I believe more states will follow. Not totally a bad thing as the Barnes have worked really well for me, I just think that sometimes a cup and core bullet is a little better choice and I like having choices. Besides, I hate the government mandating what ammo I can and can’t use. Don’t get me started on electric cars!
 
I’ve never used Nosler’s E-tip but I’ve used 250 grain Barnes TTSX in my 375 a lot duiker to eland. Pushed fast it’s actually my most accurate load and rifle I have 0.75” every day 0.5” on good days. I’ll continue using it, but for heavy game like Buffalo or big bears I’d use a lead core bullet like a swift A Frame or Trophy Bonded Bear Claw especially when there will be some brush. I’ve seen no reason to get a 338 when I can get a 250 gr bullet in 375.
 
I have used the E-tips in 7x57 on pigs and deer. Performance was similar to what you see with the Hornady GMX or Barnes TTSX. Never recovered a bullet.

Safe hunting
 
I have shot deer, elk, and black bear with them. They are much softer than barnes and i sometimes loose some pedals. I really like the bullet.
Are you comparing to Barnes TSX or TTSX? I have lost petals with TTSX but not with TSX.
 
I’ve had very good success with barnes in my .375. I suspect that this nolser will be similar.

Everybody needs a .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM! And use Barnes 225gr. TTSX bullets. LOL
 
I picked up some factory blemished bullets today. Will report back of I can get them to shoot.
 
Barnes has never Let me down. We will be seeing more non-lead bullets coming on the market.

Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
Gary [redacted]
