7-30 waters FP bullet sourcing

[ZAP035]

For those of us out there that own and shoot our 7-30 waters lever guns, does anyone have a current source for suitable hunting bullets? Seems like everything has been discontinued, apart from the hawk 140gr. I’ve always loaded and shot the 120gr, but might have to test the heavier option.

Hawk may build you what you want, just have to ask them.

Has anyone else done some exploring on sourcing some different bullets

I'd reach out to Fury and ask them if they could make a .284" flat point. I bet you aren't the only person trying to keep a 7-30 fed.

Hammer makes a 114 gr that should work great. I have used their 140 gr 30 cal in a 30-30.

I actually ended up getting an alert from midway that they had factory seconds of the 120gr game king bullet in stock (the one federal used in their factory loads). I stocked up on those. Also for a while gold country offered a bullet for the 7-30 but they seem to have discontinued it.
