The Nosler 40065 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for 30-30 Winchester rifles. This 150-grain round nose configuration maximizes performance in tubular magazine lever-action rifles while maintaining the ballistic coefficient advantages of Nosler's proven bullet design.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's Ballistic Tip bullets feature a polycarbonate tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact, creating larger wound channels than traditional soft-point bullets. The tapered jacket design ensures 50-60% weight retention while the boat-tail base improves downrange velocity retention. Factory-loaded ammunition eliminates load development time and provides consistent chamber pressures across temperature ranges.
Key Features
- 150-grain round nose Ballistic Tip bullets optimized for lever-action rifles
- Polycarbonate tip initiates reliable expansion at velocities down to 1800 fps
- Tapered jacket construction maintains 50-60% bullet weight retention
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications with temperature-stable powders
- Round nose profile feeds reliably in tubular magazine systems
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
This ammunition excels in medium-game hunting scenarios where controlled expansion and deep penetration are essential. The 150-grain bullet weight provides sufficient sectional density for whitetail deer, black bear, and similar-sized game at typical 30-30 engagement ranges of 50-150 yards. The round nose design prevents bullet-to-primer contact in tubular magazines while the Ballistic Tip construction ensures consistent terminal performance across varying impact velocities.
