.30-30 Winchester is a type of ammunition for firearms. It is classified as a (R)ifle caliber, and was originally designed for the Winchester Model 1894.

.30-30 Winchester is pronounced thirty-thirty Winchester. The name comes from a combination of the bullet diameter (0.30 inch) and the amount of grains of early smokeless powder (30 grains) that one loaded cartridge contained. Modern propellants may not be loaded with the same quantity of powder, but the name was retained.

This caliber may also be known as .30-30 WCF (for Winchester Center Fire), or simply .30-30. There is no formal metric designation for this caliber, but if one existed, it would likely be 7.62x52mm. This is not recommended, as it is too close to the similarly named 7.62x51mm NATO.
