The Nosler E-Tip 6.5 PRC 120gr ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for hunters seeking lead-free options without compromising accuracy. This premium hunting cartridge features Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet technology, engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The E-Tip bullet construction utilizes a solid copper alloy body with a polymer tip, eliminating lead while maintaining the ballistic coefficient needed for long-range accuracy. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the E-Tip expands in a controlled mushroom pattern that retains 95% of its original weight. The 120-grain projectile achieves optimal velocity in the 6.5 PRC cartridge, delivering flat trajectories and consistent performance at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Lead-free solid copper E-Tip bullet construction for environmental compliance
- 120-grain spitzer boat-tail design optimized for 6.5 PRC ballistics
- Polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag for improved long-range performance
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates the E-Tip's ability to maintain accuracy while delivering devastating terminal performance on game animals. The solid copper construction penetrates heavy bone and muscle tissue while creating a wide wound channel through controlled expansion. Hunters report excellent performance on elk, deer, and antelope at ranges exceeding 400 yards, with the 6.5 PRC cartridge providing sufficient energy for clean, ethical harvests.
