Hornady gave the 30-30 Winchester a little makeover! Thanks to its supple polymer Flex Tip, this round’s 160 grain FTX bullet has an aerodynamic spitzer profile that sits safely inside a tubular magazine!
Let’s do a cartridge comparison to show the advantages to choosing the sharp FTX bullet over a duller soft point. (The following data all assume a 24” barrel.)
• Winchester Power-Point 150gr SP (0.218 G1 BC):
0yds: 2390 fps | 1903 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2019 fps | 1357 ft lbs | 3.6”
200yds: 1685 fps | 946 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1399 fps | 652 ft lbs | -16.0”
400yds: 1177 fps | 462 ft lbs | -49.8”
• Hornady LEVERevolution 160gr FTX (0.330 G1 BC):
0yds: 2400 fps | 2047 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2150 fps | 1643 ft lbs | 3.0”
200yds: 1916 fps | 1305 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1699 fps | 1026 ft lbs | -12.5”
400yds: 1503 fps | 802 ft lbs | -37.2”
• Federal Power-Shok 170gr SP (0.254 G1 BC):
0yds: 2200 fps | 1827 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 1894 fps | 1355 ft lbs | 4.2”
200yds: 1619 fps | 989 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1380 fps | 719 ft lbs | -17.5”
400yds: 1190 fps | 534 ft lbs | -53.4”
Wow! Despite having a heavier bullet, the Hornady load has a much flatter trajectory than the Winchester one. And despite being lighter, the 160gr FTX conserves ~32% more kinetic energy at 200 yards than the 170gr JSP! It’s truly the best of both worlds, and it’s all thanks to the power of a pointed bullet’s superior ballistic efficiency.
And it only gets better. Because it is supple, the Flex Tip mashes inside the FTX’s nose cavity where it compresses after impact. That catalyzes the kind of quick terminal expansion that does the critter in quick!
