The .30 Remington is a rimless, centerfire rifle cartridge that was introduced by Remington Arms in 1906. It was designed for their line of Model 8 semi-automatic rifles. The .30 Remington is comparable in performance to the .30-30 Winchester, offering similar ballistics but with a slight advantage in velocity due to its rimless design which improves feeding in semi-automatic and pump-action rifles.
The cartridge typically fires a 150 to 170-grain bullet, making it suitable for medium game hunting such as deer and black bear. Despite its effectiveness, the .30 Remington never achieved the same popularity as the .30-30 Winchester and was largely discontinued as newer cartridges became more favored by hunters and shooters.
Today, the .30 Remington is mostly of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage firearms. Ammunition can still be found, but it is often limited to specialty manufacturers and reloaders.
Use cases: Given its capabilities, the .30 Remington is well-suited for hunting medium-sized game in North America, particularly in situations where a semi-automatic rifle is preferred.
