Nosler E-Tip 30 Caliber 180gr Lead-Free Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Nosler E-Tip 30 caliber 180 grain bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for hunting applications where lead-free ammunition is required or preferred. These copper alloy projectiles maintain their weight through controlled expansion, providing reliable terminal performance across various game sizes.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the E-Tip features a solid copper construction with an engineered polymer tip that initiates expansion at lower velocities. The boat-tail design reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient compared to flat-base alternatives. Nosler's manufacturing process ensures each bullet meets strict weight and dimensional tolerances for consistent accuracy downrange.

Key Features

• 100% lead-free copper alloy construction for environmentally conscious hunting
• 180 grain weight optimized for 30 caliber cartridges including .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield
• Polymer tip design initiates controlled expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps
• Boat-tail profile enhances ballistic coefficient and long-range performance
• Weight retention typically exceeds 95% for maximum energy transfer
• Spitzer point configuration reduces wind drift and improves trajectory
• 50-count packaging provides sufficient quantity for load development and hunting seasons

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion across impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps, making these bullets suitable for both close-range shots and extended hunting distances. The copper construction eliminates lead fouling in barrels while maintaining accuracy standards expected from Nosler products. Hunters report consistent performance on medium to large game animals, with the controlled expansion creating adequate wound channels for quick, ethical harvests.
