I have a Winchester 1894, Standard 1894 26" Sporting Rifle, made in 1902. I have a dumb question..... can I shoot any normal 30-30 ammo in this rifle or do I have to worry that modern loads will cause a problem. Thanks for any info. I asked in rifles forum also, so, move if not in right place. Thanks

Yes, modern ammo is perfectly safe in your rifle, if the rifle is still in safe shooting condition.

Modern 30-30 ammo is the same power it always was.
