The Winchester Power Point 30-30 Winchester ammo has filled deer tags and put meat in the freezer for decades. This 150 grain jacketed soft point load pushes 2390 feet per second from a 24-inch barrel, delivering 1902 foot-pounds of energy on impact. The Power-Point bullet design features a notched jacket that initiates controlled expansion while the lead core drives through bone and tissue. For lever-action hunters running Marlin 336s, Winchester 94s, or Henry rifles, this load balances flat trajectory inside 200 yards with reliable terminal performance on whitetail, black bear, and hogs.
Performance at a Glance
Winchester engineers the Power-Point bullet with a tapered jacket and exposed lead tip. On impact, the notched jacket peels back in four sections, creating a mushroom that sheds velocity while the heavier base penetrates. At 150 grains, this load sits in the middle of the 30-30 spectrum — lighter than 170-grain options for flatter trajectory, heavier than 125-grain varmint loads for deeper wound channels. The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.218 means you’ll see approximately 10 inches of drop at 200 yards when zeroed at 100. Brass cases use boxer primers and reload without issue. Winchester produces this ammunition in the United States with non-corrosive primers.
