The E-tip is longer than a lead core 55gr. from Nosler so it will take up more case capacity and build higher pressures. I'll just have to start low and work my way up. We'll see how it goes.
Try the 55gr blitz king. It works good for varmint. If you're looking for top accuracy anything between 68 & 70 grains works well for a 1 in 9 twist. Look up the Greenhill formula on Wikipedia.
I would go with the deluxe die set. it works with all types of rifles. IMR 8208 XR is also a very accurate powder and you don't need to use as much as CFE223 witch I also use. I have also heard Varget is a good one but I haven't tried it yet. Also a flash hole uniforming tool helps with accuracy.
Is anyone reloading the Nosler 55gr. E-tip for 223 - 5.56? I can't find any load data for it short of buying the Nosler manual for this one bullet or using Barnes or Hornady load data.
Use the 60gr. data in the manual. If you go to Hornady's web site you can download a pdf with the data that includes the 62gr. fmj and they added a few extra powders to.
