Winchesterr Ammunition is pleased to announce the new Theodore Roosevelt commemorative ammunition line. Celebrating 150 years of Roosevelt's influence and achievement as arguably the greatest conservation hero North America has ever produced. He was a champion of hunting and wildlife conservation.
The Theodore Roosevelt cartridges feature a nickel-plated shell casing bearing a special Roosevelt head-stamp in three popular calibers: .30-30 Win., .45 Colt and Roosevelt's favorite big bore lever-gun round, the .405 Winchester. The most powerful cartridge ever chambered in a lever gun, the .405 was used extensively by Roosevelt during his 1909 - 1910 African safari. The .30-30 Win. rounds are loaded with 150-grain Power-Pointr bullets and the .405 Winchester with 300-grain jacketed flat point bullets: both are boxed in 20-round packages. The .45 Colt is loaded with a 250-grain flat nose lead bullet and comes in a 50-count box. All Theodore Roosevelt cartridges are packaged in collectible, foil-embossed boxes, each emblazoned with vintage Winchester artwork and photography.
Born in New York City on October 27, 1858, Roosevelt achieved fame as a hero of the Spanish-American War for helping organize and train the "Rough Riders." He served as a New York City police commissioner, a prolific author and was the twenty-sixth president of the United States, where he earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in resolving the Russo-Japanese War.
His politics were simple and straightforward, embodying the attitudes of hard work, American confidence, and most important to hunters and shooters, a modern-day conservation philosophy. Without Roosevelt, we would not be able to hike, camp, hunt and enjoy many of our national forests and parks.
The Theodore Roosevelt line of cartridges features:
Nickel-plated shell casing bearing a special Roosevelt head-stamp
Collectible, foil-embossed boxes
.30-30 Win. with 150-grain Power-Point bullets in 20-round box (X30306TR)
.405 with 300-grain jacketed flat point bullets in 20-round box (X405TR)
.45 Colt with 250-grain flat nose lead bullet and comes in a 50-count box (X45CBTR)

It is definitely a real product as indicated by the excerpt above. It was also advertised in the latest issue of Ducks Unlimited magazine. I have been looking on the net and locally and haven't had any luck. Just hard to find I guess.
It's funny that Winchester promotes them on their website as being available in March, 2008 but doesn't list them in their ammo section. Maybe they had production problems. You should e-mail them and ask them.
Anybody with any recent insight?
I just saw they are not listing the ammo on their website-but the store does have some--you will have to call the store and just ask for the gun dept.

Thanks, footlong, awesome link--I found it and placed an order with Graf & Sons. Let's just hope they actually have it and ship it! [;)]
Since the market was running low, that shipment seems like it fell in a dry spot with the hunt going on.
Although TR was a renounded hunter and outdoorsman, he represents the beginning of big government. I don'r want to honor hin.
And you base this on what?
Then I think you should not. Whatever. [V]
