About
What it is, and why it matters
The Mossberg 464 is a traditional American lever-action carbine chambered in .30-30 Winchester, introduced in 2008 as Mossberg's affordable entry into the classic deer-woods lever-gun market long dominated by the Marlin 336 and Winchester Model 94. It feeds from a 6+1 tubular magazine, uses an exposed hammer with a two-position tang safety, and wears a walnut or hardwood stock with a 20-inch blued barrel. Its angle-eject receiver allows conventional top scope mounting, and the line later expanded into a tactical SPX configuration and a .22 LR rimfire version.
Mossberg's modern, budget-priced take on the classic American .30-30 lever gun launched precisely when Winchester had stopped Model 94 production and Marlin was changing hands, positioning the 464 to fill a market gap at roughly half the price of a Japanese-made Model 94. Its angle/top-eject receiver lets you mount a scope over the bore, unlike the traditional side-ejecting Marlin 336.
Discontinuation of the .30-30 centerfire has not been officially announced, but it became hard to find as of the mid-2020s; status set to discontinued on that basis. The SPX tactical variant uses a 1:16 twist and a 5-round magazine. The model number is an internal form-sequence number with no special significance.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
