The .30-30 Winchester/.30 Winchester Center Fire/7.62X51Rmm cartridge was first marketed in early 1895 for the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle. The .30-30, as it is most commonly known, was America's first small-bore, sporting rifle cartridge designed for smokeless powder. The .30-30 has established itself as one of the most common deer cartridges in North America, selling more ammunition to deer hunters than any other cartridge, including the venerable .30-06 Springfield.
