Introduced in 2008, the Nosler E-Tip® bullet (Patent Pending) was designed and developed out of necessity, as more and more state agencies and local ranges imposed “no-lead” restrictions on hunters and shooters. While necessity forced Nosler to release it, there is no doubt, the Nosler E-Tip is a step above today’s pure copper bullets, while giving the Nosler user a 95%+ weight retaining bullet. Nosler’s advanced and identifying OD Green polymer tip initiates expansion. Behind the tip is Nosler’s E2 Cavity™ that is unique of only Nosler’s E-Tip. The E2 Cavity is the Energy Expansion Cavity that provides a dual expansion chamber for amazing stopping power and uniform expansion. The solid copper alloy construction meets the “lead free” requirements while delivering peerless penetration over a broad spectrum of impact velocities.
