30-30 Win – 150 PP – Winchester (X30306) – 200 Rounds

The 30-30 Winchester has probably taken more whitetails than any other cartridge in North America, and the 150 grain Power-Point is one of its most familiar loads. This listing is Winchester Super-X 30-30 Winchester 150 grain Power-Point soft point ammo, MPN X30306, sold as 200 rounds for lever action deer hunters, hunting camps, and families who keep several 30-30s in service.

Winchester rates this load at 2,390 fps with 1,902 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 150 grain bullet is the lighter, faster of the two classic 30-30 weights, giving a slightly flatter trajectory for shots across fields and power line cuts. Power-Point bullets have an exposed lead nose and a notched jacket that start expansion quickly, while the heavier base keeps the bullet together. This is a hunting load for deer and hogs at typical woods distances, generally inside about 150 to 200 yards.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 30-30 Winchester, including the Winchester Model 94, Marlin 336, Henry Side Gate and Classic lever actions, Mossberg 464, Rossi R95, Savage 340, and single shots from Henry and H&R. A common question is whether pointed bullets are safe in a lever action’s tube magazine. Pointed spitzer bullets can rest against the primer of the round ahead, which is why traditional 30-30 loads like this use blunt noses. Another common question is whether 150 grain or 170 grain is better. The 150 grain shoots a bit flatter, while the 170 grain carries more weight for larger deer and close shots in heavy cover.

Winchester X30306 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot. With iron sights especially, sticking with one load and lot keeps your zero dependable season after season.
