Description
Winchester Super-X ammunition has been the go-to choice for hunters since 1922, and this .30-30 load carries on that tradition with no-nonsense performance. The 150-grain jacketed hollow point is engineered with a rearward weight design that keeps accuracy sharp while the hollow point cavity fills with tissue upon impact, creating rapid and controlled expansion that stops where it counts.
Why the Super-X 150gr JHP Works for .30-30 Hunting
The .30-30 is a workhorse of a cartridge, and Winchester optimized this load specifically for medium-game hunting. With a muzzle velocity of 2390 fps and 1902 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, the round maintains over 1000 ft-lbs of energy out to roughly 190 yards, which covers the .30-30's effective range. The ballistic coefficient of 0.218 means your trajectory stays manageable for typical hunting situations where precision matters. At 150 yards, you're only looking at about 2.2 inches of rise, making hold-over calculations straightforward.
Expansion and Penetration You Can Count On
The hollow point design provides that critical balance between expansion and penetration. Once the bullet enters soft tissue and the cavity pressurizes, the contoured jacket ensures it expands wide for a larger wound channel without fragmenting. The controlled expansion means you get the knockdown effect you need while retaining enough bullet integrity to drive through vital zones on deer-sized game. The alloyed lead core and brass case construction add to the round's reliability.
Built for the Field, Built to Reload
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded into reloadable brass cases with boxer primers. If you reload, this brass lasts through multiple firings and represents genuine value down the road. The ammunition is made in the USA and built to Winchester's established standards for consistent feeding and accuracy in lever-action and single-shot rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is this Super-X load designed for?
This 150-grain load is purpose-built for medium-sized game like deer and is effective out to about 150 yards. The 2390 fps velocity and hollow point design provide the expansion and penetration characteristics hunters need for clean, ethical harvests. It's commonly used in lever-action rifles like the Marlin 336 and Winchester 94.
Can I reload the brass from these rounds?
Yes. Each round is loaded into reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so you can reload them after firing. This makes Winchester Super-X a smart choice if you handload, as the quality brass holds up through multiple reloading cycles.
How does this 150gr load compare to the 170gr Winchester Super-X loads?
Both are loaded to the same muzzle velocity of 2390 fps, so ballistic performance is very similar downrange. The 150gr shoots flatter due to lower recoil and slightly faster velocity decay, making it slightly better for precision shooting. The 170gr carries more energy but produces more recoil. Choose based on your rifle's preference and your shooting comfort.
What's the effective range for this ammunition?
The .30-30 cartridge is effective out to roughly 150 yards with this load, where the bullet still carries around 960 ft-lbs of energy. Beyond that, velocity and energy drop more significantly. Most hunters consider 150 yards the practical limit, though some hunters extend that a bit further with proper shooting technique and accurate rifle zeroing.
