The Nosler E-Tip 30-06 Springfield ammunition delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for ethical harvests across diverse hunting conditions. This 168-grain lead-free cartridge meets environmental regulations while maintaining the accuracy and terminal performance hunters demand from premium ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet features a solid copper construction with an energy expansion cavity that creates controlled expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the E-Tip retains 95% of its weight while creating a mushroom diameter nearly twice the original bullet size. This design ensures deeper penetration through heavy bone and muscle compared to conventional hunting bullets.
Key Features
- 168-grain solid copper E-Tip bullet for maximum weight retention
- Lead-free construction complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations
- Energy expansion cavity initiates expansion at 1,800+ fps
- Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and downrange accuracy
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates the E-Tip's effectiveness on medium to large game, with consistent expansion creating wound channels that ensure quick, humane kills. The copper construction eliminates lead contamination in harvested meat while providing the straight-line penetration needed for quartering-away shots. Temperature stability maintains consistent point of impact from sub-freezing conditions to summer heat, making this ammunition suitable for multi-season hunting applications.
