When the military adopted 30 Carbine, they considered it a "light rifle" round, meaning it was meant for carbines like an M1 with a short 18-inch barrel. Although it looks more like a handgun cartridge than rifle ammo, 30 cal ammo is effective for engaging short- to medium-range targets like, say, out to 300 yards. In fact, the M1 Carbine ammo was so effective that the U.S. Army used it throughout all major conflicts between World War II to Vietnam. Today, 30 Carbine ammo is popular among fans of the iconic M1 carbine as well as for sporting purposes. It holds a special place in American firearm history, and is still used regularly on shooting ranges across the country. Plus, 30 Carbine is an effect hunting round because it maintains solid velocity and energy, especially in short-range situations, such as hunting coyotes and whitetail deer. On paper, .30 carbine ammunition has a .308-inch bullet diameter (much like the popular .308 Winchester round). With a bullet weight of 110 grains, 30 Carbine has a muzzle velocity of 1,990 feet-per second and 967 foot-pounds of energy.
