Can’t use lead-core hunting bullets? Nosler E Tips are a great alternative to lead-core hunting bullets

September 8th 2023In certain areas of the United States (California, in particular), it is now prohibited for hunters to use bullets containing lead. Nosler’s E Tip projectile is a great option if you want a projectile that doesn’t contain lead for your deer rifle. This projectile has a lot of penetration power and retained energy, while still complying with laws that require “unleaded ammunition”. The “expansion chamber”, behind the green polymer, helps to ensure reliable expansion and 95% weight retention. The video below shows an.30 caliber 180gr lead free?E Tip? The.30 caliber, 180gr lead-free?E-Tip? is shown below. This was fired with a.308 Winchester. Nosler claims that the E-Tip (“Expansion Tip”) hunting bullet has advantages over solid copper bullets. “Unlike competitor’s one-piece design, Nosler E-Tip Bullets will not blow off the petals at extreme speeds nor will the low-end expansion ever be questioned as the minimum impact speed is set at 1800fps for standard calibres.” One hunter posted on Facebook that the E-Tip was a great bullet: “I’ve had the opportunity to kill a pig using a 130gr E-Tip in my.270, and they worked flawlessly.” My son also took two pigs using his.300 Win Mag with 165gr E Tips and they worked flawlessly.” Similar PostsTags: California Deer Hunting Elk Hunting Season Lead Prohibition Lead-Free Hunting Bullet Nosler E Tip
