The Nosler E-Tip 30-06 Springfield 180-grain ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance with lead-free construction required for hunting in restricted areas. This premium hunting cartridge features Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet technology for reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet design utilizes a solid copper construction with an energy expansion cavity that creates controlled mushrooming upon impact. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the monolithic copper design retains 95% of its weight for maximum penetration. The boat-tail configuration and polymer tip provide superior ballistic coefficients compared to standard cup-and-core ammunition, maintaining velocity and accuracy at extended ranges.
