The Browning Max Point 30-30 Winchester ammunition delivers enhanced terminal performance through its innovative polymer tip design. This 150-grain load combines proven accuracy with reliable expansion for medium game hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Max Point bullet features a precision-molded polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient while maintaining the flat-nose profile required for tubular magazine safety. Unlike traditional flat-nose bullets, the polymer tip initiates consistent expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps. This design increases effective range compared to standard 30-30 loads while preserving the safety characteristics essential for lever-action rifles.
Key Features
- 150-grain polymer-tipped bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Flat-nose profile safe for tubular magazine lever-action rifles
- Muzzle velocity of 2,390 fps with 1,902 ft-lbs energy
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Non-corrosive boxer primers for reliable ignition
- 20 rounds per box for extended range sessions
- Compatible with all 30-30 Winchester chambered firearms
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-inch groups at 100 yards from quality lever-action rifles. The polymer tip maintains bullet integrity during feeding while the controlled expansion design creates reliable wound channels on deer-sized game. The load performs effectively in temperatures from -20°F to 125°F, making it suitable for various hunting conditions across different seasons.
