>>Large Rifle Primer
>>Introduced in early 1895 for
the Winchester Model 1894
lever-action rifle, the .30-30
was the USA's first
small-bore, sporting rifle
cartridge designed for
smokeless powder. Jacketed
bullets for the .30-30 are
.308 inches in nominal
diameter. Cast lead bullets
for the .30-30 are also
popular and usually are .309
inches in diameter.
>>The .30-30 is considered to
be the "entry-class" for
modern big-game hunting
cartridges. While it is very
effective on deer-sized and
black bear-sized game, most
commercial loadings are
limited in effective range to
about 200 yd for that purpose,
except when using
ballistic-tip ammunition.
>>The cartridge is typically
loaded with bullets weighing
between 150 and 170 grains but
lighter loads are possible.
Bullets of up to 180 gr can be
used, but the overall length
restrictions of the
lever-action rifles most
commonly chambered for this
round limit their usefulness.
>>Starline prides itself on
producing the highest quality
brass case available. With a
production process focused on
quality not quantity, Starline
makes the finest brass and has
done for more than 30 years.
