I kind of always wondered that myself.

All I know is my .30-06 is a killing machine. :)

30-06 means the calibre is .30 cal and the round came out in 1906. I don't know about the 30-30 but I would think it is the calibre and something to do with the velocity but I'm not sure. Both are .30 cal.

30-06 was originally designed in 1903 and then slightly altered to the case we now know as the 30-06 in 1906 for the American Government but Springfield, hense the 30-06 Springfield. The 30-30 was a 30 caliber bullet propelled by 30 grains of BLACKPOWDER, there is a difference. Old blackpowder rounds did this a lot, like the 45-70, 45-110 (Quigly's gun), 50-70, 50-90. Not sure about the 22-250 but I think it is just a marketing thing, make it seem bigger than the 222.

Well, according to common consensus, the hoary old .45/70 has always been considered the (American) centerfire cartridge longest in continuous production. I think that's the qualifiying language, as in always manufactured and commonly available.

I was just joining in the fun, and if the .50/70 has indeed never been out of common production, then the .45/70, like the Pinball Wizard, will have to surrender the crown.

I love gun trivia.

Of course, as ya'll know, the true Methuselah of cartridges is the humble .22! Long live the .22, and it has been long-lived!

First off the 30 30 was the first smokless powder round by Winchester in 1894. as far as the oldest centerfire cartridge I would say the 44 40 came out in 1873. The oldest continusly produced catridge is 22 rimfire.
