The .30-30 Round is a loose rifle cartridge. It is the ammunition for the L94 Rifle and fits no other gun in the game. Each round is small and light, so a pocketful adds little to the load.
Loose .30-30 Rounds come from opening a Box of .30-30 Rounds. One box holds 20 rounds. The same rounds can be packed back into a box to save space in a bag. The Veteran is the best occupation for ammo. It starts with the most Reloading skill. The Police Officer also starts with some Reloading skill.
Uses
Besides loading the L94 Rifle, the .30-30 Round has two other uses. The Pack Ammo in Box recipe turns 20 loose rounds back into one Box of .30-30 Rounds. A full box stacks neatly and is easier to trade or store. The Gather Gunpowder recipe breaks rounds down into Gunpowder. That powder goes into the Pipe Bomb and the crafted Firecracker, which gives spare rounds a use after the rifle is lost or broken.

Locations
Loose .30-30 Rounds come off zombies dressed as hunters. About one hunter zombie in ten carries a few rounds. The rounds sit in the zombie's clothing and show up when the body is looted. That makes hunter zombies worth searching after every kill. Hunters are the one outfit that carries this round. The same hunter outfit can also carry 7.62x51mm Rounds, 5.56x45mm Rounds and 12g Rounds.

Notes
- Rifle rounds open from a box of 20, while most pistol rounds open from a box of 50.
- Only the L94 Rifle takes the .30-30 Round, so the rounds are dead weight without that rifle.
- Rounds that will not be fired soon can become Gunpowder for crafting.
- Packing loose rounds into a box keeps a stockpile tidy in a container.
