Win 150 gr. Power Points for 30-30
Anyone have good luck with these?
Before I switched to the LR's, I used the 150PP with good results, I had faster kills then the Rem 170's I had been using, be advised that I found the PP's a pretty tough bullet, I compared them with the LR's and 170's, and they actually retained the most weight percentage wise in the test med. I used.
The 150 Corelokts seem to open up a little faster then the PP's in case you want a quicker expansion.

I shot a nice doe last week with 150 core lockt at 40 yards in the neck (26 in barrel) it turned the vertebrae into oatmeal - dear was dead before it hit the ground. I have used these for years along with 125 hollow points - only difference is the recoil. The 150 left an exit hole about like a silver dollar. I have not used silvertips in years.

I've shot a lot of Winchesters 150gr PP 30-30s. And I just finished loading some. But I've never killed anything but paper with them.
They have been accurate bullets from every 30-30 I've fired them from.

The 150 's are great but I must say that I like the 170 better and the 170 federal Power-Shok even better. Not that one is really better than another but it's just a matter of preference.The Federal 170 seems to hold together better than the Winchesters for some reason. That's not a statement from any scientific test, just mho. Mike
If I can't shoot or pee off my own back porch when I want to then I'm not free and I won't live there. Thank you God for my freedom!
