  • .30-30 Winchester 150 Grain Barnes TSX FN~ The .30-30 Winchester/.30 Winchester Center Fire (7.8×51mmR) cartridge was first marketed in early 1895 for the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle. The .30-30 (thirty-thirty), as it is most commonly known, was the USA’s first small-bore, sporting rifle cartridge designed for smokeless powder. The .30-30 is considered to be the “entry-class” for modern big-game hunting cartridges, and it is common to define the characteristics of cartridges with similar ballistics as being in “.30-30 class” when describing their trajectory. While it is very effective on deer-sized and black bear-sized game, most commercial loadings are limited in effective range to about 200 yd (183 m) for that purpose, except when using ballistic-tip ammunition.

    Our 100% Hand-Loaded 150 grain TSX rounds are loaded with extremely tight tolerances, producing highly accurate, consistent and reliable performance with each and every shot! Our proprietary load formulas and loading process create the finest round of ammunition available on the commercial market today. 

    The Bullet:

    These revolutionary bullets from Barnes are made of 100% copper and contain no lead. When the bullet expands, four razor-sharp cutting petals are created, allowing the bullet to penetrate farther through tough bone and tissue. These bullets usually retain 100% of their original weight, making them a superb choice for hunting. These TSX FN bullets are intended for rifles with tubular magazines.

    • One-piece copper construction
    • Deep hollow-point tip
    • Grooved bullet shank improves accuracy
    • Almost 100 percent weight retention
    • Deep penetration and large, consistent expansion
    • Velocity 2,419 fps
    • 100% Hand Loaded

    Hornady FTX bullets revolutionized lever gun ballistics, creating a new level of performance for these popular firearms. Lever gun enthusiasts can now harness the accuracy, power and long-range performance of a tipped bullet that’s safe to load in tubular magazines.
    Hornady offers the same Flex Tip technology for handguns that revolutionized lever guns. Typical hollow point pistol bullets deliver good performance at modest velocities, but have a tendency to expand too quickly and sacrifice penetration at the higher velocities achieved with lever action guns.

    • Velocity 2,431 fps
    • 100% Hand Loaded
    • G-1 BC 0.33

    These high-performance rounds provide excellent reliability, consistency, accuracy and stopping power for hunting most game.

  • .30-30 Winchester 170 Grain Nosler Partition~ The .30-30 Winchester/.30 Winchester Center Fire (7.8×51mmR) cartridge was first marketed in early 1895 for the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle. The .30-30 (thirty-thirty), as it is most commonly known, was the USA’s first small-bore, sporting rifle cartridge designed for smokeless powder. The .30-30 is considered to be the “entry-class” for modern big-game hunting cartridges, and it is common to define the characteristics of cartridges with similar ballistics as being in “.30-30 class” when describing their trajectory.

    Choice Ammunition has taken our 100% hand-loading techniques and produce an extremely accurate, highly dependable round for the 30-30 in this load. Our loading tolerances are only matched by passionate hand-loaders in their own loading rooms. Consistent seating depths, powder charges and proprietary formulas of Choice Ammunition, make this 170 grain Nosler Partition round the best you can buy on the commercial market today.

    Partition Bullets feature a fully tapered jacket that ruptures instantly at the thin jacket mouth, yet the gradual thickening along the bullet’s axis controls expansion and curls the jacket uniformly outward at high or low velocities. Nosler’s integral Partition supports the expanded mushroom and retains the rear lead alloy core. The enclosed rear core retains more than half the original bullet weight for deep penetration. The special crimp locks in the rear core section, adding strength to resist deformation under the pressure of heavy magnums.This makes this round no match for Deer, Sheep, Pronghorn and Black Bear and other medium-sized game.

    The Bullet:

     

    The Barnes Original was the bullet that started it all. Produced by pressure-forming pure copper tubing around a pure lead core, this highly reliable bullet was the first custom bullet available to American handloaders. Introduced in 1939, it was long the favorite of professional hunters who demanded performance they could depend on, each and every time. On impact, Barnes’s Original bullets typically expand to more than 200 percent of their original diameter and retain 70 to 90 percent of their original weight. The Barnes Original is a true hunting bullet generations of sportsmen have relied on. This is not loaded ammunition.

30-30 Winchester FAQ

At 150 yards, the drop of 30-30 Winchester ammo can vary depending on the specific load, bullet weight, barrel length, and environmental conditions. Generally, it experiences a drop of around 5 to 8 inches, but precise calculations are necessary to determine the exact drop for a particular setup. Use This ballistics calculator to get more accurate results in your region

No, a 30-30 Winchester is generally less powerful than a 30-06 Springfield. The 30-06 offers higher muzzle velocity, greater energy, and a wider range of bullet weights, making it more suitable for larger game and longer-range shooting. However, the 30-30 remains effective within its intended range for hunting medium-sized game.

For general-purpose hunting, popular choices range from 150 to 170 grains. Lighter bullets offer flatter trajectory, while heavier ones provide deeper penetration. Consider factors such as game size, shooting distance, and personal preference for optimal performance.

The effective range of 30-30 Winchester ammo typically extends to around 200 to 250 yards. Beyond this distance, bullet drop and decreased velocity can affect accuracy and terminal performance. However, with proper shot placement and bullet selection, it can still be effective for hunting medium-sized game within this range.
