Nosler and Barnes have their own recommend seating depth which I think can be found on their sites plus max load for the E-Tips.

I've shot few of the 30 cal E-Tips 180gr,168gr and 150gr and one of my cow elk rifles 30-06 is set up for the 150gr E-Tip. I took my buck this year with 140gr TSX in a 270. I'm using the Accubond in custom 30-338mag,280AI,284 and 35 WhelenAI. I shot couple boxes of Barnes 225gr TSX in the whelen and that's my back up bullet in that rifle.

In a custom 300WSM I've been shooting the 168gr E-Tip along with the 168gr TSX,165gr TSX ,165gr Accubond and 165gr Rem CL bullet.

I don't get any more fouling using the E-Tip or Barnes bullets must of broke my barrels in right.
