30-30 Winchester: 7.62X51MMR


Page 55 of Cartridges Of The The World

Paragraph #2 of the description: The 307 caliber designation is to avoid confusing this cartridge with other .30 calibers.

The 30-30 Winchester has been listed as the 7.62X 51R in Europe since 1900! Like all cartridges listed in Europe converted from other countries this is also a mish-mash of confusion. However the 30-30 Winchester was listed in Europe as 7.62X51mmR before the 308, ( 7.62X51mm NATO and 30 CAL T-65) or the 307 Winchester even existed!
