Nosler E-Tip 8x57mm JS Mauser 180 grain lead-free ammunition delivers the performance hunters need without traditional lead projectiles. Built around Nosler's polymer-tipped E-Tip bullet, this cartridge combines clean, non-toxic ballistics with proven hunting reliability. Whether you're working with a vintage Mauser or a modern 8x57mm JS rifle, this 20-round box gives you consistent, field-tested loads built to Nosler's exacting standards.
The E-Tip projectile is engineered for controlled expansion in the field. The green polymer tip initiates consistent opening on impact while the bullet's construction supports 95% or greater weight retention—meaning more of the projectile stays intact to penetrate deep and deliver energy where it counts. That combination of uniform expansion and retained mass translates to reliable terminal performance across different game sizes and shooting distances.
Like all Nosler ammunition, these rounds are manufactured with premium powders, primers, and brass, then visually inspected before packing. If you hunt in regions with lead-free ammunition requirements, or simply prefer non-lead rounds, E-Tip ammo removes the compromise between environmental responsibility and hunting-grade performance.
