The .30-30 was never a black powder round, though the use of a powder weight was a convetion taken from the era of black powder cartridges such as .45-70 or .50-70. It's doubtful thirty grains of black powder would fit in the small .30-30 case even if compressed. I use a .30-30 in the Black Powder Cartridge matches at the local club.
The .30-30 Winchester / 7.8x51mmR (officially named the .30 Winchester Center Fire or .30 WCF) cartridge was first marketed for the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle in 1895. [4] The .30-30 (pronounced "thirty-thirty"), as it is most commonly known, along with the .25-35 Winchester , was offered that year as the United States' first ...
Bullets in the 110- to 120-grain range are suitable for small game and varmints (handloads with 110s can nearly achieve 3000 ft/s); 120- to 154-grain range for deer; and 154 to 168 gr range are adequate for larger game at closer ranges. [13] "The 7-30 Waters has proven its capabilities in the field on big game weighing up to 300 pounds at woods ...
The .308 Marlin Express was designed to produce performance similar to the .308 Winchester. This would give lever-action hunters improved performance over their .30-30 Winchester rounds. The table below shows how the rounds compare. Note that reloading data for 160-grain (10 g) bullets for some of the cartridges is not available.
The Marlin Model 336 is a lever-action rifle and carbine made by Marlin Firearms.Since its introduction in 1948, it has been offered in a number of different calibers and barrel lengths, but is commonly chambered in .30-30 Winchester or .35 Remington, using a 20- or 24-inch barrel.
The normal factory load consists of a 200 grain round-nosed bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2080 feet per second. This 200 grain bullet is nearly 18% heavier than the .30-30's 170 grain bullet, and has a 16% larger frontal area. This gives it a substantial increase in power over the .30-30, especially when used on larger game species.
The cartridge was designed for smokeless powder at a time when black-powder cartridges were still popular. The .303 Savage round was ballistically superior to the .30-30, but only marginally. [citation needed] The .303 Savage remained popular through the 1930s. [1] Savage produced a half dozen loads for it.
With the addition of clinometers fixed machine gun squads could set long ranges and deliver plunging fire or indirect fire at more than 2,500 m (2,730 yd). This indirect firing method exploits the maximal practical range, that is defined by the maximum range of a small-arms projectile while still maintaining the minimum kinetic energy required to put unprotected personnel out of action, which ...
