.308 Rhino 170-Grain Flat-Nose Bullets for .30-30 Winchester — 50 Count

Description

The traditional heavy .30-30 bullet for working lever rifles

The 170-grain class has long been one of the two central .30-30 Winchester choices. We make this Rhino for the handloader who deliberately wants the heavier traditional option: an exposed-lead flat nose, copper jacket, lead core and cannelure in a .308-inch bullet.

We supply 50 bullets. We hand swage them in small batches, make them to order and normally ship within seven business days.

Where the 170-grain Rhino belongs

This bullet begins with the .30-30 Winchester lever rifle. Its flat nose addresses the mechanical reality of a tubular magazine, while its 170-grain weight serves the hunter who prefers the heavier traditional class for woods and brush-country hunting, short sight lines and loads built around controlled penetration.

“Brush-country bullet” describes the rifle, terrain and likely shooting distance. It does not mean any bullet can predictably cut through brush without deflection. A clear shooting path and sound shot placement remain essential.

Why choose 170 grains instead of 150?

Our 150-grain Rhino is the lighter traditional choice and may be preferred when the handloader wants somewhat more velocity or a slightly flatter trajectory within ordinary .30-30 distances. Choose this 170-grain Rhino when greater bullet mass and the heavier traditional lever-rifle role matter more.

Weight is only part of the decision. The standard Rhino is our hard-hitting flat-nose path built around controlled penetration. If you want the same 170-grain lever-rifle assignment with a serrated jacket intended to begin opening sooner, compare the 170-grain serrated-jacket Rhino.

Firearms and applications

The primary home for this bullet is a compatible .30-30 Winchester lever-action rifle with a tubular magazine. The same .308-inch diameter and flat-nose form may interest handloaders working with other suitable traditional or single-shot rifle applications, but cartridge diameter alone does not establish compatibility. Use data for the exact cartridge, confirm chamber and magazine fit, and verify feeding in the actual firearm.
