Having a hard time finding some basic load information on the above bullets. Any ideas, I need a basic starting point.
Thanks

Load for the bullet weight. It's marketing name, who made it or its construction doesn't matter.

open your loading manual to your cartridge & bullet weight use starting load &work up

Nosler told me that max load for 180gr Etip was 2gr below max powder load in the load tables.

Contrary to what you read here not all bullets are the same.

If you load for the fail-safe the same as common lead bullets you could run into over-pressure issues on your first attempts. These are a VERY hard bullet and are very resistant to being started into the rifling. Nosler #5 has all the data you will need to SAFELY load these bullet.

If we knew WHICH 30 calibre cartridge you were loading for I am pretty sure someone could provide you with the proper data.

It would be for a 308 or 30-06, not sure yet

excellent finish on those, Alox mix I think, I would as mentioned, bullet weight, the hollow point does make a bit of change from sp, but pressure will be lighter than a normal copper jacket.
