The 30-30 or .30WCF was first introduced in 1894, it was the first smokeless powder cartridge in America. It's still one of the best. The model 1894 Winchester or the 336 Marlin are both darn fine rifle's. I have a 94 Winny in my gun cabinet. It really belongs to my youngest daughter, but she asked me to keep it because she knows it's safe here. If you get into reloading, you can have oodles of fun with the 30-30.

Thanks for the info. The Winchester is a beautiful gun. I read on a web-site that the 30-30 was the same as the 7.62x51. I thought that was a .308 too, but was not sure. Didn't think I'd have a prob with the power of the 30-30. Was just looking to buy ammo.
