30 Carbine Ammo History

When the U.S. Army wanted a round that could replace the standard 45 ACP for rear positioned infantry they went to Winchester. The army's requirements were a bullet that was larger than .27 cal with a range of 300 plus yards. Edwin Pugsley of Winchester decided to design a cartridge with a .30 cal 100-120gr bullet with a velocity of 2,000 ft/s. The goal was a more powerful round with higher accuracy. Since the shape of the projectile is rounded it look as though it was designed for pistols. The Winchester model 1905 was the actual "rifle" that it was designed for in part of the military's "light rifle" project. The cartridge design is basically a rimless Winchester .32 WSL.

The famous M1 Carbine was issued to machine gun, artillery, tank crews, and paratroopers as a replacement for the heavier M1 Garand. As time went by the 30 Carbine round saw a lot of field action. Testing done during postwar times by the U.S. Army concluded that the 30 carbine did not have enough stopping power to be issued in an infantry situation. There were complaints that the round could not penetrate Korean or Chinese soldiers who were wearing thick layers of clothing. Despite these shortcomings the round was still issued for service in the Vietnam war, most commonly for light weight or reconnaissance missions. Through out it's entire service life in the military the 30 carbine has been under fire for being short on stopping power.

Most U.S. Military operations do not currently use the .30 carbine round, however Israel currently uses the M1 Carbine for their police and guard services. Israel has also had their share of experiences with 30 carbine ammo. In 1994 Israel introduced the Magal, a firearm based off of the Galil MAR. Compliant's of overheating and jamming caused the Magal to withdrawal from service.

30 Carbine Uses

30 carbine ammo is a practical hunting caliber for small game. Deer size game is about as big as you'll want to shoot. The standard military style FMJ round may be best considered for target practice, as the Full Metal Jacket does not fragment well leaving little tissue damage and can have over penetration problems. For optimum hunting we recommend using a hollow point or soft point. 30 carbine is also popular among shooting enthusiast who want to shoot military style weapons, as well as re enactors A good rule of thumb for hunting is 30 carbine will effectively hunt any prey that a 32-20 Winchester, .327 Federal Magnum and .32 Winchester SL will hunt.
