2nds or Cosmetic Blemished: All Nosler products are hand inspected prior to packaging. Every bullet and every piece of brass is searched for imperfections to ensure that every piece meets Noslers strict quality standards. Products with physical imperfections and deformities are scrapped, while products with only cosmetic blemishes are labeled as 2nds.
Meeting all lead-free hunting regulations, Nosler’s E-Tip™ bullet provides exceptional stopping power and peerless penetration over a broad spectrum of impact velocities, rivaling even the highest quality lead-core bullets. Upon impact, Nosler’s exclusive E² Cavity™ [Energy Expansion Cavity™] allows for immediate and uniform expansion, yet retains 95% weight for improved penetration. The bullet’s boat-tail configuration combined with the streamlined polymer tip assures long-range performance and ease of loading, making it a favorite amongst hand-loaders desiring a lead-free hunting bullet.
