Load data for caliber ".30-30 Win."
The .30-30 Winchester, commonly referred to by shooters as the "thirty-thirty", is one of the oldest and most popular rifle rounds in existence. Developed in 1895 for use in lever-action rifles such as the Model 94 Winchester, it has since gone on to become a popular choice among hunters and recreational shooters alike due to its great combination of power and accuracy.Though originally intended only for short-range hunting applications, today's modern loads have pushed the effective range of the .30-30 Winchester out to almost 250 yards - allowing it to be used even on large game animals such as deer and elk with relative ease. It also offers excellent accuracy potential from quality rifles equipped with optics, allowing shooters to make difficult shots even in challenging conditions.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
