I wish this bullet would become available for reloaders, and in most calabers.

The E-Tip lead-free bullet from Winchester Ammunition is the latest new product developed for big-game hunters.
 
This bullet was co-developed with Nosler and is the latest project between the two companies.  It features an E2™ energy expansion cavity which promotes consistent upset at a variety of impact ranges and it’s made of Gilding metal instead of pure copper, which helps prevent barrel fouling and provides for a 100% lead free bullet.
 
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 that provides near 100 percent weight retention and
      helps prevent barrel fouling compared to pure copper loads
• 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 fouling
 
E-Tip™ is loaded exclusively by Winchester

They already are tho perhaps minus the coating which I don't much care for anyway. Nosler is making them they are Nolser's response both to Barne's X Bullets and the current trend toward banning lead for use in bullets. Hornady also has announced their version of same.

As of now the E-tip comes in 150 and 180 grain in the .308 for the 30 cal , 150 grain in the 7mm and 130 grain in the .277 for the 270 cal .

The .277 ones load like a dream and shoot very well in the 3 rifles that I have tried them in so far , now they need one in .224 that comes apart on P-dogs like the Hornady v-max and I'd buy a ton .  ;D
