Product Overview
Buffalo Bore Heavy 190-grain JFN is a jacketed flat nose .30-30 load made for elk- and moose-sized game. Buffalo Bore also offers it for defense in grizzly country and says plainly that it is not designed for deer. It leaves the muzzle at 2,100 fps with 1,860 ft-lbs.
At 190 grains it is 20 grains heavier than anything else loaded in the caliber, and it is the hardest-kicking load in the caliber by a wide margin, about 41 percent more estimated recoil than Winchester's Super-X 150-grain Power-Point. A .30-30 rifle is usually a light one, which is where that tells.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Super-X 170-grain Power-Point is the next heaviest bullet in the caliber, 100 fps faster at the muzzle. Hornady's Full Boar 140-grain MonoFlex goes the other way, a copper bullet with no lead core at 2,465 fps.
- More muzzle energy than Winchester's Super-X 170-grain Power-Point, the next heaviest bullet in the caliber
- A jacketed flat nose, the only one in the caliber
- The only .30-30 load compared whose maker names elk- and moose-sized game
- A bullet 40 grains heavier than Winchester's Super-X 150-grain Power-Point and still 42 ft-lbs short of it at the muzzle
- The slowest .30-30 load at the muzzle, at 2,100 fps
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
