Gun Descriptions

.30-30 Winchester

About The .30-30 Winchester Ammo, also known as the .30 Winchester Center Fire Ammo, was first designed and marketed commercially in 1895 in the United States. The .30-30 Winchester Ammo was designed for smokeless powder for the first small-bore sporting rifles. After approximately sixty years of production, the .243 Winchester Ammo surpassed the .30-30 Winchester Ammo in the small-bore cartridge category, but the .30-30 Winchester Ammo remains widely in use even today. Even though the .30-30 Winchester Ammo isn't recommended for long-range shots, it has a soft recoil that allows for accurate shots to be taken in short to mid ranges. However, the .243 Winchester Ammo provides a stronger power and muzzle energy than the .30-30 Winchester Ammo while delivering the same mild recoil to the shooter. The .30-30 Winchester Ammo has an overall length of 64.8mm, and the bullet diameter of this bullet is 7.8mm. The 150-grain bullet variant of the .30-30 Winchester Ammo can travel at a velocity of 2,390 feet per second while creating an energy level of 1,903 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .30-30 Winchester Ammo was designed and manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1895 in the US. Uses In Canada and the US, hunters have successfully used the .30-30 Winchester ammo for hunting moose, caribou, and pronghorn. The cartridge has also been used for hunting down the deer family.

.450 Marlin

The 450 Marlin Ammo was introduced in 2000 as a new option offering more performance than the .45-70 Government load. The 450 Marlin Ammo was designed for the Model 1895 lever gun. Its design aims at eliminating the risk of accidental use in rifles that lack enough action to handle the increased pressure safely. The .450 Marlin Ammo features a belted case that precludes chambering in rifles. It proved effective against dangerous games when used for hunting. It can take out every special of big games from deer to Alaskan brown bear. The .450 Marlin Ammo is ideal for light and medium games. However, with due consideration, you can also use it on large, heavy games. Loading the .450 Marlin Ammo with a 300-grain projectile can produce hydrostatic shock down to impact the muzzle velocity of 2100 fps. Even without the shock, internal wounds are usually broad in impact velocities of 1700 fps which ensures fast kills. The best fast-killing range is 175 yards with 300-grain bullets. When closing the range to 150 yards, a 350-grain bullet is ideal and a 400-grain bullet for 125 yards. Beyond these ranges, shot placement is vital because wounding depends on game and caliber. The .450 Marlin is not ideal for dangerous games, primarily when used by inexperienced hunters. To achieve impressive results, it’s essential to keep the impact velocity over 1700 fps. The recoil from the .450 Marlin is light but can be pretty stiff in some situations. An integral muzzle brake softens it with two rows of porting on each side.
