Chino, The numbers can be very confusing, although there are a few rules of thumb. Keep in mind that many of these 'rules' are broken by one or more calibers, so these are just a guideline. A 30-30 Winchester is called that because it was originally a 30 caliber bullet loaded with 30 grains of black powder. This was in the years prior to smokeless powder becoming very popular. Other examples of guns using this type of naming are the 45-70, 44/40, 38/55 and 25-20. Some guns have a very similar name to those above, but do not mean the same thing.
A 30-'06 is a 30 caliber cartridge that was standardized by the U.S. Military in 1906. A 25-'06 is a 25 caliber that was formed from the 30-'06 case. The 6.5-284 Winchester is also an example of a cartridge named by the caliber and parent case it was formed from. Abbyy Linux Serial Console more. However, the 250-3000 Savage is so named because it was a 25 caliber that drove an 87gr bullet at 3,000fps.few rounds are named this way.
Most of the modern center-fire rifle rounds we shoot today follow the pattern of listing the caliber, or exact groove diameter, followed by the name of the company, or person, who created/standardized that round. The 270 Winchester, 7MM Remington Magnum, 300 Weatherby and 375 Holland & Holland are all examples of cartridges named in this manner.
Many of the common European cartridges are named by first listing the caliber and then the case length, both in millimeters. The 7x57 Mauser, 6.5x55 Mauser, 7.62x54R (R being a rimmed case) and 7.62x39 are just a few of many rounds so named. Some rounds, like the 308 Winchester are also known by their NATO designation, 7.62x51. So, as you can see, there isn't exactly a predictable pattern for how a given cartridge is named. I've always been fascinated by cartridge names, their history and how they compare to other cartridges, both old and new.
American descriptions of cartridges can be rather overwhelming for a lot of people. Sometimes they mean what they say and sometimes they make no sense at all, in my opinion.
First off, a lot of the older cartridges were named by the bullet diameter and the charge of black powder used to fire the cartridge. 30-30; was.30 caliber with 30 grains of black powder.
