30-30 Hollow Points
I am thinking about reloeding for my 30-30 Win. I have looked at the major bullet manufacturere's websites and catalogs, but i can't seem to find anyone that makes hollow points. I think something like a 170 grain XTP would be perfect for my situation. I really don't want to keep shooting plain old soft points, and i am not a fan of the new lever-revolution bullets. Does anyone know of any bullets out there to meet my wants?

Nosler makes a custom competition hpbt in 155gr., only I wouldnt load them up for a tube fed gun, or at least one in the chamber and round points or lever-evelutions in the mag for follow-up shots.

Usually your first shot from a cold barrel is the one that counts. I always used a pointed in the chamber for the first and the FN's in the tube.
I have also chambered a Hollow Point "Starfire" for my first one.

RE: 30-30 Hollow Points
Ive been using 150 grain nosler ballistic tips for my first shot with barnes X bullets in the magazine. those ballistic tips seem to be a perfect match for 30-30 velocities theyve been great on 200 lbs ferrel hogs at 50 to 100 yard ranges
