20 Rounds of 150gr JHP 30-30 Win Ammo by Winchester

Winchester’s Super-X brand of ammunition has offered accessibly priced, American-made ammo to shooters of all shapes and sizes since 1922. If you’re the shape and size that uses a lever gun to thin out the herd, then you can find at least 20 things to do with this box of 30-30 ammo.

This round’s 150 grain bullet conveys the standard 2,390 fps muzzle velocity for its weight class. In true 30-30 fashion it’s great up to a couple hundred yards, with a four digit energy factor until it passes about 187 yards. Whatever energy this round’s bullet has in store is put to good use through terminal expansion. It’s a jacketed hollow point, engineered to penetrate deep and mushroom nice and wide so it can decisively drop black bears, bucks and hogs. It’s an especially fitting bullet for a lever-action, with a broad nose profile that virtually eliminates the risk of accidental magazine ignition.

Every Super-X round gets the same loadout: a fresh brass case, a non-corrosive Boxer primer, and a pile of clean burning powder. You’ll want to hang on to Winchester’s once-fired brass so you can fire it again – or at least hand it over to a grateful handloader.
