Federal Fusion .30-30 Winchester 170 Grain Bonded Flat Soft Point Ammunition (MPN: F3030FS2)
Product Description
Hunters taking traditional lever-action rifles chambered in .30-30 Winchester into heavy timber and brush for big game often run into bullet integrity limitations with standard cup-and-core soft points. Traditional unbonded lead-core bullets can fragment upon striking heavy shoulder bone or thick hide at close range, resulting in shallow penetration and inconsistent tracking. Federal Premium resolves this terminal performance challenge with their Fusion .30-30 Winchester 170-grain Bonded Flat Soft Point load, engineered specifically to deliver extreme weight retention, controlled mechanical expansion, and deep tissue penetration in lever-gun applications.
Proudly manufactured in Anoka, Minnesota, this specialized centerfire hunting cartridge centers around Federal's electro-chemically bonded Fusion projectile. By molecularly joining the uniform copper jacket to the pure lead core at an atomic level, core-jacket separation is virtually eliminated even when impacting dense muscle or heavy shoulder bone. The 170-grain heavy projectile features a modified flat soft point nose profile designed for 100% safe inline contact against primers inside tubular magazines under recoil. Precision skiving around the bullet jacket nose initiates wide, uniform expansion across a broad range of impact velocities while retaining up to 95% of its initial weight.
In the field, this heavy 170-grain bonded load delivers hard-hitting kinetic energy dump and reliable deep penetration through dense brush and timber cover. Leaving the muzzle at a uniform velocity of 2,200 FPS with 1,827 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, it yields predictable downrange energy transfer and reliable point-of-impact metrics. Premium virgin brass cases, clean-burning propellants, and responsive Boxer primers ensure smooth mechanical feeding through side-loading gates and reliable cycling across Marlin, Winchester, and Henry lever rifles. Packaged in a compact 20-round box, Federal Fusion .30-30 Win 170-grain Soft Point stands out as an elite choice for whitetail deer, feral hog, and black bear hunting.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance: Centerfire rifle ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and assume full legal responsibility for adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Due to commercial carrier transit restrictions, ammunition cannot be delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries destined for California and New York must ship directly to an authorized FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must supply a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and localized regional bans prohibit delivery to specific jurisdictions inside Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Armorer Tip: The 170-grain flat soft point bullet geometry is specifically designed to be 100% safe inside lever-action tubular magazines. The heavier 170-grain bullet profile offers exceptional momentum for penetrating thick brush and heavy game compared to lighter 150-grain offerings.
