Fort Scott Munitions .30-30 Winchester 130-grain TUI Solid Copper ammunition (part no. 3030-130-SCV) brings the company’s Tumble Upon Impact bullet technology to the classic lever-gun cartridge. Fort Scott Munitions machines this 130-grain bullet entirely from solid copper with no lead core and no hollow point, so it does not expand or fragment on impact. Instead, the bullet’s engineered design causes it to yaw and tumble violently through soft tissue, creating a wound channel through a completely different mechanism than a traditional expanding bullet. It is a genuinely different approach to terminal performance than the soft points and jacketed hollow points typical of .30-30 hunting ammunition. In rifle ammunition for shooters who want a non-expanding, non-fragmenting design, this is Fort Scott’s signature technology.

Key Specifications

• The bullet is solid copper, machined with no lead core and no hollow point.
• The design uses Fort Scott’s TUI (Tumble Upon Impact) technology, engineered to yaw and tumble through tissue rather than expand.
• That tumbling action creates a wound channel through a fundamentally different mechanism than a traditional expanding bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a TUI bullet work if it does not expand? Instead of mushrooming, the bullet is engineered to yaw and tumble violently as it passes through soft tissue, creating a wound channel through tumbling action rather than expansion.

Is this bullet legal where lead-free ammunition is required? Yes, it is machined entirely from solid copper with no lead core, meeting nontraditional-bullet requirements in areas that restrict lead ammunition.
