It uses a 30 caliber or .308 inch diamiter projectile. .308
Negative, 308 is a 30 caliber bullet and 30 doesn't fit into 25.
a "308" measures .308 inches while most 30 caliber ammo measures .312 inches. Strange as it may seem both are classifies as 30 caliber ammo.
30 caliber = .308 of an inch = 7.62mm
No
You will have to me more specific. Do you mean any rifle that fires a 30 caliber projectile or 30/06 or 308?
The "30 W.C.F." means that it is a .30 caliber (.308 bullet diameter), and is commonly referred to as "30-30" today. Bert H.
Yes and no. Many .300 caliber cartridges use a bullet that is actually .308 inches in diameter- such as the 30-06. However, CARTRIDGES such as the .300 Winchester Magnum are a different size/shape than the .308 Winchester cartridge- they do not interchange.
.308
Winchester did not make an 1895 in .308 Winchester Caliber. Marked 30 Army is 30-40 Krag Caliber. Marked 30 US is 30-40 Krag Caliber. Marked 30 Government is either 30-03 Caliber or 30-06 Caliber Marked 30 Government 03 is 30-03 Caliber Marked 30 Government 06 is 30-06 Caliber FYI: The 30-03 while practically unknown is the forerunner of the 30-06. It is identical to the 30-06 except it has a slightly longer case neck than the 30-06. Since the both cartridges headspace on the shoulder, it is safe to fire a 30-06 cartridge in a 30-03 marked rifle, but not the other way around.
The 30-06 is physically larger. They preform similar, ballistically, though. 30-06 is the answer to your direct question.
No You could build a rifle in .306" or any other caliber but you are likely referring to 30.06. A 30.06 rifle is referred to as "30 Caliber" but to be accurate it is nominally .308"
