Federal Fusion .30-30 Winchester 170gr Subsonic

Federal Fusion .30-30 Winchester 170-grain Subsonic ammunition (brand part no. F3030FS2SUB) takes Federal’s molecularly-bonded Fusion bullet and slows it down for hunters running a suppressor who still want real terminal performance. Federal Ammunition loads this round to roughly 1,000 feet per second, falling just below the sound barrier so the sharp supersonic crack that a suppressor can’t tame simply never happens. The Fusion Soft Point bullet is modified specifically for these reduced velocities, still expanding effectively and penetrating deep on big game despite the lower speed. For lever-action and bolt-gun hunters running a can, this is quiet, lethal rifle ammunition built for the job.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .30-30 Winchester, the classic lever-action deer cartridge.
• The bullet weighs 170 grains, a standard .30-30 hunting weight.
• The bullet is a Fusion Soft Point, molecularly bonded so the jacket and core stay fused through impact.
• Bonding drives effective expansion at low velocity, unusual for a load tuned specifically for suppressor use.
• Muzzle velocity is tuned to 1,000 feet per second, staying subsonic to eliminate the supersonic crack.
• Ballistic coefficient is rated at .313, giving the bullet a reasonably flat flight path despite reduced speed.
• Bullet length measures 1.050 inches, part of the tuning that keeps this load cycling and stabilizing correctly at subsonic velocity.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, with 10 boxes to a case for a full hunting season.
• Federal prices this load at roughly $1.55 a round, reflecting its specialized subsonic tuning.
