The ENEMY is listening.

Keep it to yourself.
My Dad gave me a single round of 30 WCF with the W stamped in the primer. He told me it was probably a black powder factory loaded round.
.30-30 was never factory loaded with black powder.

I thought the .30-30 was a blackpowder round to start with? .30 caliber, 30 grns. of blackpowder? Made the transition to smokeless.

The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992

When the cartridge was chambered in the Marlin Model 1893 rifle, rival gunmaker Marlin used the designation .30-30 or .30-30 Smokeless. The added -30 stands for the standard load of 30 grains (1.9 g ) of early smokeless powder and is based on late-19th century American naming conventions for black powder-filled cartridges.
