Description
A heavier 7-30 Waters hunting load for an ammunition market that moved on
The 7-30 Waters remains an effective deer and medium-game cartridge, but dependable factory support has become thin and intermittent. Most available .284 bullets serve pointed-bullet cartridges, leaving lever-rifle hunters without the flat-nose ammunition their tubular magazines require.
Gold Country makes this 139-grain Rhino load to restore that missing option. It is small-batch, made-to-order hunting ammunition built around a hand-swaged .284 jacketed flat nose for compatible 7-30 Waters lever rifles.
Why choose the 139-grain load
The 139-grain Rhino is the heavier member of Gold Country’s two-load family. It is built for deer, medium-game and deep-woods hunting where added bullet mass and a deeper-penetration emphasis matter more than the lighter 120-grain load’s speed.
- Cartridge-specific flat-nose geometry for compatible tubular magazines
- Hand-swaged, jacketed Rhino hunting bullet
- Heavier bullet mass for a deeper-penetration emphasis
- Small-batch, made-to-order support for a hard-to-find cartridge

Choosing between 120 and 139 grains
Choose the 139-grain load when added bullet mass and deeper-penetration emphasis fit the job. Choose the 120-grain load when speed, trajectory and lighter recoil are the priorities. The documented 120-grain test velocity belongs only to that load and is not transferred to this product.
Use only in firearms marked for 7-30 Waters and in safe operating condition. Confirm cartridge fit, feeding, chambering and point of impact in the rifle that will be used.
