n 1894 Winchester produced a new lever action rifle. Originally chambered for a pair of black powder rounds, in 1895, the M1894 rolled out in the new 30 WCF – Winchester Center Fire.

Other ammo companies loading it referred to the new round as the “30-30,” a 30-caliber projectile propelled by 30 grains of “smokeless powder.” This was old-fashioned nomenclature, but it stuck. The round – and the guns chambered for it – are known as the 30-30 to this day.
