The Nosler E-Tip 6.5 Creedmoor 120-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for hunters seeking lead-free hunting solutions. This premium hunting cartridge combines Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet technology with match-grade components for consistent accuracy and reliable expansion on game animals.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet features a solid copper construction with a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, this design maintains 95% weight retention while creating devastating wound channels. The boat-tail configuration and optimized bearing surface deliver superior ballistic coefficients compared to standard hunting bullets in this weight class.
Key Features
