FAQ on 30-30 Winchester Ammo

Q1. Why is .30-30 ammo so hard to find?

A.Lower production and demand versus modern popular cartridges, plus manufacturers prioritize higher-volume calibers so availability is often merely seasonal .

Q2. Is a .30-30 more powerful than a .45-70?

A.No, the .45-70 is more powerful (much heavier bullets, at slightly lower velocities), especially at close/medium ranges.

Q3. What distance should I zero my .30-30?

A.Most hunters still zero at 100 yards to give flexibility for shots taken from up close to 150 yards. However, 150 yards is not uncommon for those who regularly face shots beyond 150 yards.
