Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 170-grain load better than a 150-grain for deer hunting in 30-30?
Both weights are effective for deer, but the 170-grain soft point offers a heavier bullet with greater sectional density, which translates to deeper penetration and more retained energy at moderate ranges. It's especially preferred in thick brush or timber where you need reliable performance through light vegetation. The 150-grain load shoots a bit flatter, but for most lever-gun hunting inside 150–175 yards, the 170-grain is the traditional go-to choice.
Will this ammunition work in my Marlin 336 or Winchester Model 94?
Yes — Remington 30-30 Win 170 GR Soft Point ammunition is fully compatible with all standard lever-action rifles chambered in 30-30 Winchester, including the Marlin 336, Winchester Model 94, Henry Lever Action, and similar platforms. Always confirm your specific firearm's chamber is in good working condition and rated for standard 30-30 Win SAAMI-spec loads before shooting.
How should I store this ammunition when not in use?
Store your Remington 30-30 ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. A dedicated ammo can or storage box with a desiccant pack is ideal. Properly stored brass-cased centerfire ammunition can remain reliable for many years. Keep ammunition out of reach of children and away from any heat sources or open flame.
