Greetings Bumblefoot,
I may have talked about it in the past, memory is not quite what it was. The .307 Winchester, together with the .356 Winchester were attempts to breath new life into the M94. They are good cartridges and a friend had one and quite liked it. They had a beefed up action were easily scoped and were supposedly loaded to similar pressures. Basically rimmed versions of the .308 and .358 Winchesters with thicker cases? they followed the 375 Winchester and 7-30 Waters into obscurity. The latter two are still chambered in break open rifles but the .307W and .356W are likely gone for good. Stock up on brass if you can find any.
Meanwhile the 30-30 chugs along and will hopefully still be chambered in the Marlin when it emerges from Ruger. Hopefully they will chamber the .35 Remington again. I have Pet Loads Data for all of them.
Regards Grandpamac.
