Winchester Ammunition introduced a new lead-free bullet called the E-Tip.

From Winchester Ammunition:

The E-Tip^TM lead-free bullet from Winchester® Ammunition is one of the latest new products developed for big-game hunters and it also complies with current state non-toxic regulations.

This bullet was co-developed with Nosler® and features an E2^TM energy expansion cavity, which promotes consistent upset at a variety of impact ranges. The bullet is made up of gilding metal instead of pure copper, which helps prevent barrel fouling and provides for a high performance sporting bullet that is lead-free.

The polycarbonate tip, like that featured on XP³^TM Accubond-CT® and Ballistic Silvertip® bullets, prevents deformation in the magazine, boosts aerodynamic efficiency and initiates expansion. The new E-Tip’s high quality and consistent performance provides unsurpassed penetration and weight retention.

Key features of the Winchester E-Tip bullet include:

• E2 Cavity promotes expansion at long and short ranges and improves accuracy
• Gilding metal lead-free design provides near 100 percent weight retention and helps prevent barrel fouling compared to pure copper bullets
• Polycarbonate Tip resists deformation, improves down-range ballistics
• Boat-tail Design reduces drag and provides a more efficient flight profile for higher retained energy at long range

Lubalox® Coating helps prevent barrel foulingE-Tip is loaded exclusively by Winchester and will be initially available in the following calibers:.30-06 SPRINGFIELD
.300 WSM.
.300 WIN-MAG
.308 WINCHESTER

Ideal for big game hunting or recreational shooting, the E-Tip is a step above today’s “pure copper” bullets. The E-Tip’s alloy provides less fouling, while exhibiting superior accuracy and consistent performance over traditional pure copper designs.
