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.

.32 Winchester Special

32 Winchester Special Ammo Winchester created the 32 Winchester Special Ammo in October 1901. It is a rimmed cartridge designed for use in the Winchester Model 94 lever-action rifle. Although it has a similar name with the .32-20 Winchester Ammo, they’re unrelated. It is a necked-down version of the 38-55 Winchester Ammo. During the design process, Winchester used a slower twist to reduce fouling retention. It was for the benefit of sportsmen who wanted to reload their ammunition using black powder and cast bullets. It was ideal for them because it offered more powder capacity than the 30-30 Winchester Ammo. However, the popularity of the former hampered the acceptance of the 32 Winchester Special Ammo early on. The 32 Winchester Special Ammo helps to create a larger wound as opposed to the .312 ammo. It also offers more energy and deeper penetrations because of its increased density and reduced sectional density. As a result, the 32 Winchester Special Ammo can be used effectively with 205 yards before you notice a drop-off in trajectory and wound penetration. It is ideal for short-range hunting because as distance increases, the wound penetration reduces. With a 170-grain bullet, the 32 Winchester Special Ammo offers you a muzzle velocity of 2300 fps. With a 165-grain bullet, it provides a 2410 fps muzzle velocity with a 2128 foot-pounds energy. Additionally, a soft point 170-grain bullet with a flat trajectory will also offer you a muzzle velocity of 2250 fps. It is ideal for hunting at short and mid ranges. You can efficiently use the 32 Winchester Special for big games like deer and elk.
