The Nosler E-Tip 243 Winchester 90-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for hunters seeking lead-free options without compromising accuracy or stopping power. This premium hunting cartridge features Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet technology, engineered specifically for consistent expansion and deep penetration on medium game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the E-Tip bullet construction uses a solid copper alloy body with a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact. The boat-tail design maintains superior ballistic coefficients compared to flat-base alternatives, delivering flatter trajectories and retained energy at extended ranges. This lead-free design meets hunting regulations in California and other states with non-lead ammunition requirements while maintaining the accuracy standards Nosler is known for.
Key Features
- 90-grain E-Tip lead-free bullet with polymer tip for reliable expansion
- Solid copper construction ensures 95%+ weight retention after impact
- Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range performance
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
- Complies with lead-free hunting regulations in all states
- Optimized for medium game including deer, antelope, and similar-sized animals
Field performance demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles, with muzzle velocities averaging 3100 fps from 22-inch barrels. The E-Tip bullet maintains structural integrity through bone and tissue, creating reliable wound channels for ethical harvests. Temperature stability ensures consistent point of impact from early-season hunts through cold-weather conditions, while the lead-free construction eliminates concerns about meat contamination.
