Nosler E-Tip 8mm Mauser (8x57mm JS) 180gr

The Nosler E-Tip 8x57mm JS (8mm Mauser) 180-grain Polymer Tip (Nosler part no. 40643) is built around Nosler’s lead-free E-Tip bullet, a monolithic copper design engineered to petal open into several sharp blades on impact for a large wound channel and deep, controlled penetration. 8x57mm JS is the standard modern 8mm Mauser cartridge, chambered in classic and modern rifles alike, and remains a genuinely capable medium-to-large game cartridge at 180 grains. Because the E-Tip carries no lead core, it’s a strong option for hunters in areas with lead-ammunition restrictions who still want dependable expansion and weight retention.
