Bend, Ore –– Nosler® created the E-Tip® Ammunition line to offer an affordable, lead-free ammunition alternative for hunters who are either required or choose to use a lead-free bullet. The advantages of the E-Tip® bullet are not limited to the material from which it is made however, its construction is what gives the E-Tip® its greatest advantage; high weight retention.

Because the E-Tip® retains so much weight, it provides extremely deep penetration and consistently straight wound channels. The E-Tip® smashes through heavy bone and muscle, typically performing like a much heavier bonded or lead-cored bullet. This high degree of penetration provides a significant advantage when hunting large game with non-magnum calibers. Offered in a variety of traditional American hunting cartridges, E-Tip® ammunition is an excellent choice for any North American big game or African plains game. Read more

The keys to the RDF’s outstanding performance are Nosler’s meticulously optimized compound ogive and long, drag reducing boattail, which make handloading a snap and create an incredibly sleek form factor.
