30 Carbine – 110 gr JSP – Federal (30CA) – 200 Rounds

Most 30 Carbine ammunition on the market is full metal jacket, so owners who want an expanding bullet for their M1 Carbine have few choices. This listing is Federal Power-Shok 30 Carbine 110 grain soft point ammo, MPN 30CA, sold as a 200 round case. It suits carbine owners who keep the rifle for home or ranch use and want a soft point instead of a solid jacket bullet.

Retail specifications list this load at 1,990 fps with 967 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 110 grain soft point has exposed lead at the nose that expands on impact, which transfers more energy to the target than an FMJ and lowers the chance of over penetration. Its round nose shape mirrors the military bullet, so it should feed like standard ball ammo, though any expanding load deserves a function test in your own carbine. Use it for home defense, varmints, and small game at short range, and save FMJ for practice.

This ammunition fits firearms chambered in 30 Carbine, including USGI M1 Carbines, Auto Ordnance and Inland Manufacturing reproductions, Universal and Plainfield carbines, and the Ruger Blackhawk revolver in 30 Carbine. A common question is whether a 30 Carbine is suitable for deer. Many states set minimum energy or caliber rules that the 30 Carbine does not meet, and it is generally considered too light for deer, so check your regulations. Another common question is how many rounds to fire to confirm reliability. Run at least several full magazines before relying on any new load.

Federal 30CA is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, enough to test function, confirm your zero, and keep loaded magazines ready.
