.30-30 Winchester Ammunition was first introduced to the firearm industry over 100 years ago, and it is most commonly used in lever-action or bolt-action hunting rifles. For a rifle cartridge to maintain this level of popularity for over a century is quite a feat, but most marksmen who have shot with 30-30 ammunition understand the hype. This ammunition is one of the best rounds for deer hunting because it provides plenty of firepower to ethically take down a whitetail, but unlike other hard-hitting cartridges, 30-30 Win has very manageable recoil and is mostly used with lightweight rifles that are easy to lug around the hunting grounds.
30-30 ammo has evolved throughout the years to include different bullet grains and types as well as other innovations. For example, Hornady LEVERevolution 30-30 ammunition has everything hunters love about this cartridge, but it is safe to use in tubular magazines and delivers a significantly flatter trajectory than traditional .30-30 ammo.

Why is it so hard to find 30-30 ammo?
There are a few reasons why 30-30 ammunition may be difficult to find. One reason is that it is a relatively niche caliber, so there may not be as much demand for it as there is for more popular calibers like 9mm or .223. Additionally, the 30-30 cartridge is primarily used for hunting and some sport shooting, which have been negatively impacted by the recent pandemic.
Thankfully, OpticsPlanet has plenty of 30-30 ammunition in stock and ready to ship. For more information about ammo shortages, please review our page on the State of the Ammo Industry.
