drichiRe: More 30-30 questions
I just received a reply from hornady that they have no plans to discontinue the 130 ssp bullet #3021. I have seen other posts on other forums also about this bullet being discontinued. looks like a rumor only.

Bobby TomekThe bullet being discontinued is the Sierra .30 caliber SSP.

BigIronGunwriter Dean Grennell used to speak in a very complimentary way of the Speer .308 130 HP - he found it very accurate.
Another writer said it fragments on deer at .308 rifle velocities, but I suspect it might be a winner at 30-30 Contender velocities.
Let us know....
Cheers,

Gary TWell, It looks like Hornady has either changed their mind or still hasn't decided what they're going to do w/ their 30 cal 130 gr SSP bullet.....

In response to having read on the 'net about Hornady discontinuing the aforementioned bullet, I also sent them an e-mail a few months ago. Received 2 responses from different people. First gentleman said, "Yes, it's being discontinued." Second gentelman said, "No, it's not being discontinued." When I sent the second gentleman a second e-mail regarding the discrepency in the responses, he didn't address the issue at all.

Now Drichi has received an e-mail from Hornady saying it's NOT being discontinued.... Ok, is anyone else here confused, because I sure am....

Here's the new address for the old thread. Details of my e-mail correspondance are about 1/3 down the page. Gary T

Rich JakeX Caliber I know I'm late in this thread but you don't have any worries with the 125 Bal Tip in the 30-30. I have used it in the 300 Whisper with good results. I never got a chance to try JD Jones alternate of the 125 Tnt. If the Bal Tips are not to your liking I would probably try out JD's second choice the Tnt. You could always email him & ask if that is still his choice.
