Anyone know what kind of 30-30 bullet this is?

No idea, but I’ll be curious to find out too. Looks like somebody did a stab crimp in the lower base instead of using either of the cantilevers. Either that or somebody put canna levers in the bullet with a machine and then also a stab cream to try and lock that lead in the place. Looks like a pretty interesting bullet. Kinda like an old style round nose ballistic tip that somebody did some custom stuff too. I did a quick Google search and I think it’s probably made by Norma.

Here’s a link to a forum that I see a picture of one on

Norma .30-06 Question Please

Hello duqjans, Thank You For Your Picture. That 308 round is exactly like my norma .30-06 round. Probable a Sporting round. I thought it may have been a Proof load? Do you know what it is and when it was made? The metal bullet is throwing me off, Take Care joe

Does look similar. These are not attracted to magnets.

Perhaps the punched parts are to hold the lower part of the lead in the jacket then? Sorta like the Hornady bullets with the interlock band near the base.

My best guess is Dominion out of Canada. I remember ads back in the 60's showing bllet with a plastic type tip.

Imperial KKSP (Kling Kor Soft Point) it was made in Canada by Imperial which was also known as Dominion before that. They also made a plastic tip bullet called the Sabre Tip and this could be a combination of both of those. Wish they still were around.

Those would definitely hang together very well with the crimping near the base and a double cannelure. I'm sure quite a few moose and deer were taken with those over the years.
