Product Overview
Nosler's Expansion Tip 100-grain E-Tip is a copper .25-06 load made for deer-sized game. The E-Tip is a solid copper bullet with a polymer tip and no lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 3,200 fps with 2,273 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .409, the highest of the 100-grain loads.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 9.6 inches at 300 and 22.3 inches at 400, where 1,179 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Barnes' VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX BT is the other tipped copper bullet at this weight, a shade faster on a G1 BC of .357, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 23.1 inches at 400. Nosler's own Trophy Grade 100-grain Partition starts 100 fps faster on lead cores and from that zero drops 21.3 inches at 400.
- No lead in the bullet, so it is legal where lead ammunition is restricted
- Carries 1,401 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- The least estimated recoil of the 100-grain loads bar HSM's Game King 100-grain Sierra Spitzer BT
- Nosler's own Trophy Grade 100-grain Partition is the faster and flatter load of the two
- Barnes' VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX BT is the other tipped copper bullet at this weight, and it leaves the muzzle faster
