(6.5 CM) Nosler 120gr E-Tip Expansion Test

[@tbo2307]

Very interesting. Testing at 3,4 and 5 hundred is super valuable.

[@biggs8729]

Thanks for doing this test. I just picked up 400 120 E Tips of the early style without the relief grooves. I couldn’t pass them at 75% off. Been looking for a 400 yard deer and elk load for my Sig Cross. Really hoping these fit the bill.

Great video guys! I use 120gr. Barnes TTSX in my 6.5 Creedmoor, works amazing on whitetail deer. In the last two years I took 4 deer with it. Two head shoot on does, a 300yr. broad side shoot & a 10yr. shoot in the neck on a buck all dropped in their tracks!!! I love all cooper bullets & Savage rifles!!!

Just found this channel, this is the exact type of info I’m looking for. I’m looking for a different monolithic 120gr bullet for 6.5, I’ll look through some previous videos see if it’s there. Keep doing this stuff guys!

Awesome work. There is one cartridge that is glaringly absent, however. A short barreled, 308 Winchester load. We desperately need low velocity, 30 cal data points. A 308 cartridge, with an 1800 fps impact velocity would be hugely appreciated by me! Take care guys, I love your work!

Great tip, we'll see what we can do!

fantastic video. no fat, great info, usable results, impressive beard.

[@lumberr-jackk]

Great information. Thank you👍🏾

[@mikecessford3207]

Great video, it would be very useful to see tests on Hornady CX and ECX. Especially more unusual sizes such as 110g 308.

[@frontlinerejects8029]

We actually have a presentation on Hornady's CX (.308) in 110 grain, you can find it in our expansion playlist!

Bullet performance looks really good. I’d try on deer/antelope

[@texpatriot8462]

Great videos. I wish you could test how the perform after hitting something reasonably hard to simulate a bone.

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

They are literally testing these bullets against one of the hardest mediums you can use: water. These results are skewed in the fact that what you see is an absolute best case (or worst case because it met too much resistance) scenario for bullet expansion.

[@ExF1Guy]

@@veteranironoutdoors8320 I believe his point is that impacting bone can negatively impact the performance of a bullet. Not that he thinks it will expand better.

Good video!

[@anthonymurphy2540]

Wish you would a pic of your spot hit on deer.I bought my wife a 243 and hope to use this bullet!

[@Timberdam]

Great video !!! How about the Hammer bullets and rem tipped corlokt

[@frontlinerejects8029]

We've got them added to the list, thanks for commenting!

[@blackfam972]

What powder did you use?

[@sorow123]

Like your videos. But now it would be nice that you test 168gr e-tip in 300win mag or simmilar. Untill now you used all moderate loads/speeds. Bow its time to use something in 3200fps range 💪

[@frontlinerejects8029]

If you're looking for high velocity testing with this bullet I would consider watching our video on running it in 270 WSM, in that chambering we had 3,371 FPS at the muzzle. Thanks for your support!

[@sorow123]

@@frontlinerejects8029 saw that also. But it would.be still interesting with lighter bullet in 300. I also tested few bullets in water and i saw much lower expansion than bullets recovered from animals

[@tomlarue654]

My 308 loves the 168s

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Appreciate info

[@matthewdanko9719]

Please review the .243

[@davidsouthey528]

Would you be able to post your powder and load?

IMO, E-Tips outform ttsxs at all velocities
