Description
The traditional-weight answer to the .30-30 component problem
The .30-30 does not share the same component requirements as pointed-bullet .308 cartridges. Handloaders need appropriate nose geometry for a tubular-magazine lever rifle, then must choose whether the job calls for the lighter 150-grain class or the traditional 170-grain class.
This listing is for 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and load data are not included. These bullets are hand swaged in small batches, made to order and normally ship within seven business days.
Why choose the 170-grain Rhino
The Rhino combines an exposed-lead flat nose, copper jacket, lead core and cannelure. At 170 grains, it is the heavier traditional-weight Rhino beside the 150-grain version. Its geometry is intended for compatible tubular-magazine applications, but construction alone does not guarantee feeding, accuracy, penetration or a field result; the complete cartridge, firearm, velocity and impact conditions determine performance.

Choose weight and construction deliberately
Choose the 170-grain Rhino when the project calls for greater bullet mass in the Rhino flat-nose family. Compare the 150-grain Rhino for the lighter option, or the same-weight Razorback when serrated flat-nose construction better matches the intended load.
Build around the rifle and published data
Use current published jacketed-bullet data for .30-30 Winchester and the exact bullet weight. Confirm diameter, seating depth, cartridge overall length, crimp, chamber fit, magazine compatibility, feeding and point of impact in the rifle that will be used.

The Rest of the Story
Story Insight
The 170-grain .308 Rhino gives .30-30 Winchester handloaders the traditional heavier-weight counterpart to the 150-grain Rhino. Its jacketed flat-nose geometry addresses the tubular-magazine lever-rifle problem; final fit and performance depend on the complete load, firearm and conditions.
