30-30 Win 140gr Solid Copper Fracturing Projectiles (Qty 50)

What this is

This is the 30-30 Win 140gr Solid Copper Fracturing Projectiles (Qty 50).

This is the 140gr solid copper fracturing projectile for 30-30 Winchester, sold bare for handloaders. 30-30 is one of the oldest smokeless cartridges still in wide production, and it is loaded almost entirely for classic lever-action deer rifles rather than modern bolt guns or ARs.

Built around a lever action cartridge

30-30 runs at meaningfully lower pressure than a modern cartridge like 308 Winchester, and most 30-30 rifles feed from a tubular magazine, where rounds sit nose to primer under spring pressure and recoil. That combination is why 30-30 bullets are almost always flat or round nosed rather than pointed, a pointed bullet in a tube magazine can strike the primer of the round ahead of it under recoil. Confirm the nose profile on this projectile matches your magazine type before committing a batch of reloads to it.

Lead free construction

Solid copper, no lead core, fractures on impact for fast energy transfer, the traditional performance profile for 30-30 on deer-sized game at the cartridge’s typical woods-hunting ranges.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work in my lever action? Yes, 30-30 Winchester is a low-pressure, straight-taper cartridge designed around tube-fed lever actions, and this 140gr fracturing bullet is built to the caliber’s standard pressure ceiling.

Does this need a flat or round nose for a tubular magazine? Bullets in a tube magazine sit nose to primer, so a pointed bullet risks setting off the round ahead of it under recoil. Confirm this projectile’s nose profile is rated flat or rounded for tube magazine use before loading a batch for a lever gun.

Is this bullet lead free? Yes, solid copper construction, no lead core.
