Frequently Asked Questions
Is the round nose profile safe to use in lever-action tubular magazines?
Yes — the 170-grain round nose bullet is specifically designed with tubular magazine safety in mind. Unlike spitzer (pointed) bullets, the blunt round nose profile eliminates the risk of primer ignition from cartridge-to-cartridge contact in a tubular magazine, making it the preferred choice for classic lever-action rifles like the Winchester Model 94 and Marlin 336.
What size game is this load appropriate for?
Federal PowerShok 30-30 Win 170-grain loads are well-suited for whitetail deer, mule deer, black bear, and similarly sized medium-to-large game. The soft point bullet expands reliably upon impact to deliver energy transfer and tissue damage needed for ethical, clean kills at typical 30-30 hunting ranges of 100–150 yards.
How does the 170-grain load compare to the 150-grain 30-30 option?
The 170-grain load sacrifices a small amount of velocity compared to a 150-grain offering but gains additional bullet mass and sectional density, which translates to deeper penetration — particularly valuable when hunting larger deer or bear, or when shots pass through heavy brush. The 150-grain is a flatter-shooting choice for more open terrain, while the 170-grain excels in dense woods where close-range stopping power matters most.
