Need Help with Hornady LeveRevolution 30-30 Ballistics Chart!

Ammunition & Reloading

I’m looking for detailed ballistics information on Hornady’s LeveRevolution 30-30 ammunition. Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • Trajectory: How does the bullet drop over distance?
  • Velocity: What kind of speed can I expect at various ranges?
  • Effectiveness: How well does it perform for hunting?

I plan to use this ammo for deer hunting this season and want to make sure I’m zeroing my rifle properly. Are there any specific ballistics charts available? Also, if you have any personal experiences or tips using LeveRevolution bullets in the 30-30 Winchester caliber, please share! Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been using Hornady’s Leverevolution ammo for my 30-30 for years! The polymer tip technology really enhances ballistic performance, allowing for higher velocity and flatter trajectories compared to traditional rounds.

Exactly! The design not only improves the ballistics but also helps with terminal performance on game. It’s impressive how they’ve managed to blend old-school reliability with modern tech.

Can anyone explain how the polymer tips in Leverevolution ammo affect bullet expansion? I’ve heard they open very consistently on impact, but I’m curious about the specifics.

Great question, @zachary43! The polymer tip design initiates expansion at lower velocities compared to traditional bullets. This means you can achieve effective expansion even at longer distances with the 30-30.

I’ve heard some hunters are skeptical about using Leverevolution in a classic 30-30 rifle. Do you think the technology adapts well with older rifles?

7

Absolutely! I’ve used it in my vintage rifle without any issues. The Leverevolution is designed for compatibility, and I’ve seen great accuracy.

8

Honestly, I think the polymer tips give Hornady a competitive edge. But are they really worth the price difference compared to standard 30-30 rounds? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

9

For me, yes! The performance improvement is noticeable, especially in terms of range. Plus, it reduces the drop significantly over traditional loads.

10

I’m still wrapping my head around the whole concept of using polymer in ammo. It feels like something out of a sci-fi movie! How durable are those tips in reality?

11

Surprisingly durable! They don’t deform easily, which ensures consistent performance. Just remember to store them properly to prevent any damage.

12

I think Hornady nailed it with the Leverevolution! But I wonder if we’ll see more innovations like this in the future for other calibers. Imagine a polymer-tipped .45-70!

I’ve been looking into the ballistics of Hornady LeveRevolution 30-30 as well. The main advantage seems to be its flatter trajectory due to the Flex Tip design, which helps with longer shots.

14

That’s right! The LeveRevolution maintains velocity better over distance, which is a huge plus for those of us who like to push our range.

15

When comparing energy retention, Hornady claims its ammo retains around 10-20% more energy at 200 yards compared to traditional options. Has anyone tested that in the field?

16

I’ve shot both at 200 yards and I found the Hornady definitely packs a punch! The drop was noticeable but the punch was consistent.

17

I love how the LeveRevolution ammo handles recoil too. It’s less jarring than some of the traditional rounds, which makes for a more enjoyable shoot. Anyone else feel the same?

18

Absolutely! Less recoil makes for easier follow-up shots, especially useful in the field when you need to be quick.

19

I wonder how much of the difference in ballistics is due to the powder used? Hornady’s load data shows a faster burn rate, which could also affect performance.

20

Good point! Faster powder can improve velocity, but I’d like to see some side-by-side comparisons before making a full call on performance.
