Common Questions: 30 Carbine Ammo

What Types of Rifles Fire the .30-30 Winchester Cartridge?

The .30-30 Winchester was originally created for lever-action rifles. As such, most of the bullets you find loaded in these cartridges will have a rounded nose, which allows for better feeding in tube-magazine firearms like lever actions. A sharp, pointed bullet nose, which you’ll often see on cartridges for semiautomatic weapons, can more easily jam in the rifle when cycling. The .30-30 Winchester is the iconic lever-action cartridge, and you can find many firearms from companies like Marlin, Henry, and Winchester chambered for this round.

How Does the .30-30 Winchester Compare to the .30-06 Springfield?

These are two very different cartridges that were made for different purposes and developed under different circumstances. The biggest difference is that the .30-30 Winchester was developed for lever action rifles, while the .30-06 Springfield was specifically meant for military use, which by 1906 meant semiautomatic and automatic rifles. There are major differences in overall shape and size, but from a performance perspective .30-06 Springfield ammo is generally faster and more accurate. You will find that muzzle speeds for the .30-30 Winchester top out at about 2,700, while the .30-06 reaches speeds of roughly 2,900. (There is a lot of overlap in muzzle velocity, however.) Assuming the same bullet size and manufacturer, you will find the .30-06 is, in general, more accurate.

How Does the .30-30 Winchester Compare to the .308 Winchester?

Because the .308 Winchester ammo is a newer cartridge (developed in the 1950’s), it has the advantage of advanced materials and designs. As such, it is almost always more powerful and faster than the .30-30 Winchester. While the .30-30 Winchester is about 1,700 to 1,900 foot-pounds in muzzle velocity, the .308 Winchester is consistently near 2,900.

Why Should I Choose the .30-30 Winchester?

We just compared the .30-30 Winchester to two cartridges and found that it is generally less accurate and less powerful than the other options. So why then would you choose this cartridge? Because it’s one of the few rifle cartridges specifically designed for lever-action rifles, and, despite being overshadowed by modern cartridges, it remains extremely effective for both target shooting and hunting. It may not be ideal for long-distance shots in the openness of the western U.S., but in the dense eastern forests, it can be a great tool for deer hunting.

Which .30-30 Winchester Cartridges Should I Choose for my Rifle?

If you are using the .30-30 Winchester for target shooting, a full metal jacket may be ideal, as it will give you less fouling in the barrel, as well as smooth feeding. However, when hunting with the .30-30 Winchester, choose an expanding round like a soft point, hollow point, or even partition bullets.
