The Barnes Pioneer 30-30 Winchester 190 grain bullets deliver lead-free performance for traditional lever-action rifles without sacrificing accuracy or terminal effectiveness. These solid copper bullets feature Barnes' proven hollow point design, expanding reliably at moderate velocities typical of the 30-30 cartridge while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the Pioneer series uses solid copper construction that eliminates lead fouling and fragmentation concerns. The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it ideal for the 30-30's moderate velocity range. Four razor-sharp petals create devastating wound channels while the retained shank ensures adequate penetration on medium game up to 200 pounds.

Key Features

  • 190 grain solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure concerns
  • Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at moderate velocities (1,800+ fps)
  • Four-petal expansion design creates wide wound channels
  • Boat tail base improves ballistic coefficient and accuracy
  • Compatible with all 30-30 Winchester chamber specifications
  • Crimping groove accommodates standard roll crimping techniques
  • 20 bullets per box for convenient loading quantities
Field performance shows consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion across velocity ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 fps. The solid copper construction retains 95-100% of original weight, delivering straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle. Hunters report clean, ethical kills on whitetail deer, black bear, and similar-sized game at ranges from 50 to 150 yards. The lead-free composition makes these bullets legal in California and other areas with lead ammunition restrictions.
