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 ...
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. Currently, several models with a 16-, 19- and 20-inch barrels are available in .30-30 Winchester. The Model 336 is now back in production as of ...
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 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 ...
In standard loadings in a 20-inch barrel, the cartridge retains only about 800 to 900 fpe at 100 yards, or about what its sister cartridge the .30-30 has at about 200 yards. [7] Hornady's LEVERevolution load for the .25-35 (tested in a 24-inch barrel) lists about 900 fpe at 200 yards; and the manufacturer claims the load is suited for deer and ...
