I tried E-Tips in my 270 and they were okay. Groups were not quite as tight as jacketed lead bullets of the same weight, but they were certainly good enough for hunting (if you have to use lead-free bullets). They grouped a little higher on the paper.

When using load data Nosler recommends that you start at minimum and work your way up to mid-range data. Mid-range is considered max due to the longer bearing surface of lead-free bullets.
