IN "Cartridges of the World" Frank C. Barnes, 3rd Edition: 1972. The .30 Newton cartridge was designed by Charles Newton in 1913, based on a German caliber of the period, the 11.2x72 Schuler. Newton originally called the cartridge the 30 Adolph Express after Fred Adolph, a well known immigrant gunsmith from Germany at the time, who had proposed the idea of necking rimless German cartridges down to produce a high velocity hunting cartridge.Charles Newton: The Forgotten History of the Wildcatter Who Created the .22 Savage Hi-Power https://ammo.com/articles/charles-newton-wildcatter-created-22-savage-250-savage-forgotten-history Boddington Craig Ranking the .30 Magnums - RifleShooter RifleShooter 10 October 2018 https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/ranking-the-30-magnums/316613 The Newton Arms Company was the only manufacturer of commercial rifles chambered for this cartridge. It should not be confused with the .30 Belted Newton (a.k.a. .30-338), which is a different cartridge not designed by Charles Newton. Although suitable for any large North American game, it is an obsolete round no longer manufactured. Before World War II, loaded cartridges were once offered by Western Cartridge Company.Pearce Lane Developing the .30 Newton-PRC Wildcat - Shooting Times Shooting Times 19 February 2021 https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/developing-30-newton-prc-wildcat/388616#replay Small runs of 30 Newton brass are occasionally made by Jamison Brass.Jamison Brass back in business, making brass and loaded ammo 3 December 2012 http://www.thegunmag.com/jamison-brass-back-in-business-making-brass-and-loaded-ammo/ Cases for 30 Newton can be easily made from .375 Ruger as they are very similar other than the caliber of the case neck; so much so that many assume Ruger based their cartridge on the 30 Newton case. 8x68S brass can also be used.September 2024 References Bibliography Charles Newton: Father of High Velocity https://books.google.com/books?id=-0j9GgAACAAJ 1985 Jennings B00147N8N4 See also List of rifle cartridges .35 Newton Category:Magnum rifle cartridges Category:Newton rifle cartridges Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges
