FAQ

Will a 30-30 kill a bear?
Yes. A 30-30 with a heavy, tough bullet has taken many black bears at close range. A 170-grain Partition is a good choice for that job.

Is 30-30 good for elk?
It can work at close range with a heavy bullet and careful placement, but most elk hunters prefer a larger cartridge. Check your state’s minimum caliber rules.

What is a Nosler Partition bullet?
The Partition has two lead cores separated by a copper wall. The front core expands while the rear core stays intact to drive deep.

Is Federal Premium 30-30 brass reloadable?
Yes. The nickel-plated brass cases use non-corrosive Boxer primers and are listed as reloadable. Nickel helps them resist tarnish.
