The Nosler E-Tip 7.62x39mm 123gr lead-free hunting ammo is built for shooters who need to comply with lead-free regulations without sacrificing terminal performance. This 20-round box pairs Nosler's proven E-Tip bullet with premium brass for consistent, reliable hunting loads in one of the most popular intermediate cartridges. Whether you're running an AR platform, AK, or bolt gun in x39, these rounds deliver the stopping power and penetration you expect from quality hunting ammunition.
The 123-grain E-Tip projectile is engineered with a streamlined polymer tip and boat-tail design that maximizes stability in flight and maintains velocity over distance—critical for hunting shots beyond close range. Lead-free construction meets all applicable state and federal regulations, so you can hunt with confidence in any jurisdiction that requires non-toxic ammunition. The bullet performs consistently across a wide range of impact velocities, giving you reliable expansion and penetration whether your shot connects at 50 yards or 200.
Nosler loads this ammo with premium brass for reliable feeding, consistent pressures, and the durability to reload if that's part of your workflow. The 7.62x39mm platform has a long track record of accuracy and reliability, and ammunition this well-constructed makes the most of it. This is hunting ammunition for serious shooters—not plinking rounds, but loads designed to do the job cleanly and ethically when it counts.
