![]() Since more 30-30 ammo is sold with flat-nose or round-nose bullets, we’ll stick with our 150-grain round nose for these examples. This one splits the weight difference between the traditional 150- and 170-grain 30-30 bullets while improving ballistic efficiency. Yet another alternative is Hornady’s 160-grain FTX or flex tip with its sharp rubber tip and impressively high B.C. 30-30 Recoil in 7-pound Riflesġ50-grain at 2,200 fps = 10.88 f-p recoil at 10 fps recoil velocityġ70-grain at 2,100 fps = 12.11 f-p recoil at 10.88 fps recoil velocity A Flexible Alternative From Hornady But I’ve never found 150-grain bullets to penetrate poorly on deer or pronghorns, so I enjoy their flatter trajectory and slightly lighter recoil. The main benefit of the 170-grain is additional penetration potential due to its higher Sectional Density and mass. ![]() ![]() We could also work with a 170-grain slug, but that would cost us muzzle velocity with minimum gain in punch and a bit more recoil than many shooters like. ![]()
