Federal Ammunition Premium .30-30 Winchester 150-grain Barnes TSX ammunition (brand part no. P3030G) brings a modern monolithic bullet to America’s classic lever-action deer cartridge. Federal builds every Premium load around match-inspected primers and clean-burning, tightly specified propellants, then finishes each round in nickel-plated brass that resists corrosion and extracts smoothly even after time in a hot chamber. The Barnes Triple-Shock X is an all-copper hollow point that groups tightly, expands to a large diameter, and retains nearly all of its weight for deep penetration on deer-sized game. A grooved shank reduces bore fouling, keeping accuracy consistent through a full season of shooting. For the hunter who still trusts a .30-30 lever gun, this load pairs old-school reliability with a genuinely modern bullet from our rifle ammunition lineup.
