Best Uses

Most 30-30 loads use flat-nose bullets that shed speed fast. The FTX shape holds speed better, which helps stretch a lever gun’s reach on deer and hogs. Hornady LEVERevolution 30-30 rounds are a strong pick for hunters who sit on field edges or power lines where shots run longer than in thick woods. Zero at 100 yards, then check 150 and 200 so you know your holdover. Load the tube as normal. Buy two boxes from one lot so your zero holds all season.

FAQ

Is 30-30 good for deer?
Yes. The 30-30 has been a deer cartridge for more than a century. A 160-grain FTX like this one gives it a little more reach than old flat-nose loads.

Why do 30-30 bullets have flat noses?
Lever-action rifles stack rounds nose to primer in a tube magazine. Flat noses keep a sharp point off the primer ahead. Hornady’s soft FTX tip solves the same problem with a pointed shape.

What is the effective range of a 30-30?
Most hunters keep 30-30 shots inside about 150 to 200 yards. A sleeker bullet like the FTX holds speed better, but practice decides your real limit.

Is Hornady LEVERevolution brass reloadable?
Yes. The cases are brass with non-corrosive Boxer primers and are listed as reloadable. Hornady also sells FTX bullets for handloaders.
