The Nosler 40330 E-Tip delivers premium lead-free performance for the 30 Nosler cartridge, combining environmental compliance with devastating terminal ballistics. This 180-grain ammunition meets lead-free hunting requirements across all jurisdictions while maintaining the accuracy and power expected from Nosler's premium hunting line.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet features a solid copper construction with an engineered polymer tip that drives consistent expansion at impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the E-Tip retains 95% of its weight while creating a controlled expansion pattern. The boat-tail design and precision manufacturing deliver match-grade accuracy with terminal performance optimized for medium to large game.

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with muzzle velocities averaging 3,100 fps from 24-inch barrels. The controlled expansion pattern creates wound channels 1.5 to 2 times bullet diameter while maintaining straight-line penetration through bone and tissue. This ammunition performs effectively on elk, moose, and other large game at ranges extending beyond 400 yards, making it suitable for western hunting applications where shot distances vary significantly.
