30 Carbine Ammo

30 carbine ammo is a classic military caliber that's typically used for target shooting nowadays. The .30 Carbine was widely used during World War II in the M1 Carbine for which it was designed. Since then, a number of revolvers from Taurus, Thompson Center, and Ruger have also been produced in this caliber.

The .30 Carbine's ballistics have been compared to those of a magnum pistol, albeit with a light bullet (typically 110 grains) fired at higher muzzle velocities in the 2,000 feet per second range.

Small game hunters will find that .30 Carbine hunting loads can be had from Magtech, Corbon, and other companies; Hornady even makes a variant of its Critical Defense line for those who wish to use this cartridge for home protection that you'll often find in-stock and for sale here at Widener's.

    This bulk case of .30 Carbine ammo is the perfect companion for your refinished or remade M1 carbine both on deer hunts and on flat ranges. Each of these rounds uses a 110-grain soft point bullet which is similar in weight and shape to the original ammunition issued to US troops; this ensures manageable recoil, smooth feeding, and dependable capability out to intermediate distances whether you choose to use the original iron sights or a modern red dot sight.

    When traveling through a small boar, medium-sized deer, or uninvited human attacker, the bullet's exposed lead nose will cause to expand outwardly, tumbling as a creates a large, free-bleeding wound cavity before expending its energy in vital areas. In effect, the bullet is more adept at ending threats and dropping game than the standard FMJ load. Prvi Partizan, a Serbian company, has manufactured quality ammo since its inception in 1928.

    These .30 carbine cartridges a great choice for slaying paper targets and cardboard cutouts at the range or during an unorthodox competitive match. Each round is ignited by a non-corrosive Boxer primer which won't spew any damaging mercury onto the breech of your rifle, whether it's a collectible or a reproduction. The primer is mounted to the base of a reloadable brass casing which contains a precise measure of clean-burning powder. When sparked, the propellant gases will launch a 110-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) downrange in a similar fashion to the original ball load fielded by the U.S. Army in wartime.

    The rounded projectile feeds well, travels flatly, and closely matches hollow point and soft point loads that are intended for defense and hunting respectively; this allows a shooter to train and practice with a consistent recoil impulse and sight picture. Buying in bulk with this 500-round case ensures a uniform lot of matched ammunition for long-term storage or that upcoming class that you've marked on your calendar. Prvi Partizan is a Serbian company that has been in business since 1928. Their particular experience with older calibers has earned them a reputation for faithful processing and respectable quality control.
