Q4545258
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.
