Behind the Bullet: 7-30 Waters
Developed in 1976 by Ken Waters as a wildcat cartridge, the 7-30 Waters is based on the .30-30 Winchester necked down to 7mm to improve velocity and trajectory, with a significant drop off in felt recoil. In 1984, Winchester began to produce rifles chambered for cartridge, legitimizing Waters’ dream, and establishing it as a commercial cartridge.
New for 2020: Hornady LeveRevolution 7-30 Waters Ammo
Hornady gives the 7-30 Waters a new lease on life by adding it in their popular LeveRevolution line.
