Product Overview
Winchester's Power Max Bonded sends a 150-grain Protected Hollow Point downrange at 2390 feet per second, matching the velocity of standard Super-X loads while adding bonded-core construction. The bonding process fuses the lead core to the copper jacket, preventing the separation that can occur with traditional bullets during high-velocity impacts or when encountering heavy bone. This construction maintains bullet integrity through tissue, driving the projectile deeper than conventional designs.
The Protected Hollow Point design addresses a practical concern with hollow points—debris clogging the cavity before impact. A protective jacket section covers the hollow point during feeding and flight, then folds back on impact to expose the expansion cavity. This ensures consistent mushrooming whether the bullet first passes through brush, heavy clothing, or directly contacts hide and muscle.
Hunters pursuing tougher game than typical whitetails find value in this construction. Wild hogs with their thick shoulder shields, black bear with dense muscle and heavy bone, and mature bucks taken at steep angles all benefit from the improved penetration. The Power Max Bonded transforms the .30-30 into a more capable tool for these challenging situations without sacrificing the cartridge's traditional handling characteristics in lever-action rifles.
- Bonded core maintains 90% or better weight retention through impact, driving deeper than conventional soft points when bullets encounter heavy bone or must travel through significant tissue.
- Protected Hollow Point design prevents debris from clogging the expansion cavity, ensuring reliable mushrooming even when shots pass through brush or heavy hide.
- Same velocity as standard Power-Point loads means existing zeros and trajectory data remain valid when switching to this premium option.
- Flat-nose profile maintains safe feeding in tubular magazines while the protected tip prevents deformation during the feeding cycle.
- Premium pricing runs significantly higher than standard Super-X ammunition, making it impractical for high-volume practice with the same load used for hunting.
- Deep penetration can mean exit wounds on deer-sized game, potentially reducing the energy deposited in vital organs compared to bullets that expand more aggressively and stop inside.
- Retail availability is more limited than traditional Super-X loads—hunters should stock up rather than expecting to find it on the shelf the week before season.
