The Nosler E-Tip 22 Nosler 55gr ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance without lead content, meeting hunting regulations in lead-restricted areas. This premium hunting cartridge combines Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet design with the high-velocity 22 Nosler platform for exceptional accuracy and energy transfer on medium game.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet features a solid copper construction with polymer tip technology that initiates controlled expansion upon impact. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, this design maintains 95% weight retention while creating larger wound channels. The 22 Nosler cartridge case provides 25% more velocity than .223 Remington with similar bullet weights, extending effective range significantly.
